In the late 18th century the Roman Catholic parish of Gorzków was located in the Krasnystaw district, Ruthenian province, south-west of Krasnystaw. It was an ethnically and religiously diverse area, a Polish-Ruthenian and Roman-Greek Catholic borderland. There were neighbourly and family links between the two groups. The article is based on a parish census of 1791. According to the census, the parish comprised the town of Gorzków and 12 villages inhabited by 2420 people, 222 of whom lived in the town. On average, 5.5 lived in a peasant household. This number was influenced by natural population movements as well as spatial mobility of people (servants, landless tenants and adult children leaving their parents’ farms). The most populous households were those headed by 45–49 year-olds. On average, there were 5.8 people living in those households. Most peasant families living in one household in this parish were made up of two generations (77% of families), with very few families being composed of one (13%) or three generations (10%). To use Peter Laslett’s typology, the Gorzków parish was characterised by a high number of nuclear households (73% of the parish), which was markedly different from the situation in the nearby Greek Catholic parishes, where nuclear households accounted for just 41% of the total, with the number of complex families being slightly higher (44%). In the Gorzków parish, complex households made up 8% of the total and extended households — 16%. Single person households and non-family households were rare.

The influence of the political decisions on the development of agriculture and therefore on people engaging in primary agricultural production becomes more intensive with the development of civilisation. The state (its power and political elite) tends to unify social space and to control the functioning of its areas. This tendency culminated in Slovakia during the second half of 20th century in time of collectivization and decollectivization of agriculture. During the second half of 20th century there were two considerable discontinuities: first, collectivization of agriculture in 50s, and second, decollectivization in 90s. Both were politically controlled processes, and therefore their effect had been essential for the way of life and life strategies of people engaging in agricultural production. The author tries to understand these processes and their social and cultural context and to delineate possible development of agriculture as well as of people engaging in it.
