Abstract
The family, as a basic unit of human community, has always been the foundation for creating wider and more complex structures than those of lineage,
organizations and all the way to those of the highest order in the form of a nation. The mosaic of surnames, which in Croatia, as a traditionally Catholic country, was mainly formed after the Council of Trent (1545–1563), has enabled
the tracking of demographic and social genealogical processes across historical
periods.
Studying certain familial and genealogical societies on a micro level creates a wider demographic and societal picture of Croatian society in different
historical processes and events. The transformation of lineages through family
organizations all the way to nuclear family units in modern society also gives
us a good overview of the history of everyday life of the traditional Croatian
family. The modernization of society through legal frameworks, as well as industrialization, inevitably influenced the development of lineages and families
as well. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to present a demographical and
societal image of the Haramija lineage in Gračani from the very appearance of
the surname in the 18th century to modern times.
