This article describes a new method of finding kinship families in a community and tracking their trajectories over historical time. The method is applied to different sectors of the population of two rural parishes near York in the nineteenth century, namely individuals enumerated in the decennial censuses, fathers listed in the baptismal registers, and burials identified by memorial inscriptions in the churchyards. Enclosure of the fields favoured the gentry and clergy in one of these parishes and the small landowners in the other. An attempt is made in the context of enclosure debates to relate the variable fortunes of kinship families to this difference.

姓氏指数：19 世纪议会圈地对亲属家庭的影响

本文介绍了一种在社区中寻找亲属关系并跟踪其历史轨迹的新方法。该方法适用于 19 世纪约克附近两个农村教区的不同人口群体，即十年一次人口普查中的个人、洗礼登记册中列出的父亲，以及通过墓地中的纪念铭文确定的墓葬。圈地有利于这些教区之一的绅士和神职人员以及另一个教区的小地主。在圈地辩论的背景下，试图将亲属家庭的可变财富与这种差异联系起来。
