Abstract

This study looked into the family size and patterns of family type of the late Joseon practically. It set the 383 pieces of data related to the historical manuscripts on the census register, and it chose the method to 'recompose' the family not limiting it to the enlisted contents on the data. The family make-up is a very dynamic thing, so rather than grasping while searching the figure of one period, it had to consider pre- and post-pattern. Besides it, it is also because almost all of the historical manuscripts on the census register data unlisted the minority family member, and only after they became adults, they were enlisted on the census register. As a result, the families of the late Joseon period were generally family in a direct line and enlarged family made up of more than 5 members different from the established understanding that most of the families were married couple family and nuclear family made up of under 4 members. Even the family of members more than 15 people and the family of over the eighth degree were found quite a few. But, the tendency of families being family in a direct line and enlarged family were shown remarkably since the late 18th century. Meanwhile, there were differences in the family size and the family conjunction according to the status, and in case of upper Yangban class, the pattern was relatively great. Especially, it could be discovered of remarkable differences in family conjunction. And big difference didn't exist according to the region, but it could be discovered of difference among trends. That is, mostly the size and conjunction scope of family resided in the country rather than a capital were great.
