The subject of the research work is social and juridical practical experiences of different levels of the Ukrainian society. These practical experiences were distinguished according to the documents of urban and rural courts of Volyn of this period of time. New conditions of political and governmental life in Ukraine are the reason for the necessity of the review of cultural and historical processes of the Ukrainian nation in general. The question of social history of Ukrainian population, including the period of early modernism, is still among those problems of Ukrainian history, which are not studied enough. The necessity of studying the Personality as an object of history explains the importance of the detailed studying of social and private life of previous generations. So, the main task is to remove accents from studying such an abstract notion as the society to studying the Personality in the society. It is necessary to pay attention to different spheres of Personality's life: to his life in the concrete society, in the economical sphere, in his political, national and religious persuasions, and in his every day life. The following task appears in accordance with this: to prepare and introduce in the scientific sphere documents from social history of Ukraine in the period of the XVI-XVII centuries. According to the needs of scientific and research practice, on the basis of unknown until now documents, with the usage of modern methods, it was planned to research the functioning of social and private on the example of different levels of the Ukrainian society, such as: gentry, peasantry, lower middle class and some local groups among these levels. The research work was based on the epistemic ideas as to social and integration approaches to studying of the past, because history of the society can't be studied separately from history of the world, system of values, forms of social behavior, senses, symbols, rituals, etc. The most main methods of the project execution were: heuristic (searching of documentary materials in the archive collections of Ukraine and setting of new documentary sources into scientific circulation); methods BIC, anthropologic, microhistory, reconstructive: reconstruction of family structures of different strata of population on the base of found material; typological, comparative; quantitative and qualitative analysis etc. Theoretical and practical results. 1. Frontal studding of documentary material of grodstvo and zemstvo courts are evidence that official books are the richest source of mass media about social life of those times people. 2. The research of official books made their informative effectiveness about renewal on their base of the family history and reconstruction of the family structure especially of noble strata. 3. Documentary material is evidence that differentiated approach in calculations of those times demographic indexes has to be used. 4. Documentary material which was found convinces that that the structure of Volyn family of early modern times is more complicated and its typology more various then it has been considered till present time. 5. Identification of "dym" (berthing space) with the family as it is accepted in scientific literature has turned out to be absolutely wrong. Novelty. 1. For the first time on the materials of official books of grodstvo and zemstvo courts reconstruction of noble family structures (about 400 genealogies were renewed) and structures of peasant households was done (see Voronchuk I. Genealogies of the Volyn gentries of XVI century-first half of XVII century. - K., 2009. - 511 pages). 2. Generally accepted in the native historiography thought that agrarian reform of Zigmund-August of 1557 corrupted court system of peasant m?nage and at the same time entailed to disintegration of the great patriarchal peasant family was refuted. It was proved that even there were measuring of courts into "volokas" was done peasants accepted new more small landed parcels of land with their near relatives as usual parents with adult sons or brothers with brothers. Certainly quantity of these domestic associations was smaller than patriarchal court associations but nevertheless wider and more often existed in two shapes: fathers and brothers. 3. For the first time in native science it was set direct dependence between the shape of the peasant household and typology and structure of the peasant family. 4. It was set that the predominating sign of the family structures of all the strata of those time population was not biological but social and economic factor. For the first time on the great documentary material argumentally proved that dominative type of the family of all strata of those times Volyn society was not individual nuclear family but family-household. 5. For the first time noble, peasant and narrow-minded family structures were analyzed by the accepted in the world science classificative system of British researcher Peter Laslette. 6. On the basis of those time legislation and documentary materials for the first time in native historiography it was proved that for Ukrainian population of early modern age such demographic phenomena as early wedlock, polygamy and having many children were typical. 7. On foundation of the family structure reconstruction it was proposed row of coefficients which are based on the formed statistics owing to this research in particular: coefficient of the children quantity in the noble family, nuclear family as biological groups of the nearest relatives and mediocre indexes of family-household of different strata of population: gentry, peasants, narrow-minded. 8. On this base on the present time existing numeral characteristics of Volyn voivodeship population of the middle of XVII century are examined and new numerous estimation of the Volyn population which considerably exceeds existing which is based on the documentary materials was proposed. Sphere of usage. Derived results can be used in educational process especially during teaching of special historical sciences (demography, historical demography, source study, paleography, genealogy), in development of new courses: social history, historical demography, Ukrainoznavstvo, private history and in the courses of general history.
