Abstract

The distribution of surnames in for populations of the district rank in Kirov oblast has been used to calculate Barrai’s parameters, which are the following: I r, 0.0008–0.0208; H, 6.80-211.57; ν, 0.003–0.058; α, 47.35–1191.39; R, 23.03–50.07. The results have been compared with data on the 1980s; no substantial changes in the studied parameters during a generation have been found.
