Research on intergenerational transfers of valued goods has focused mostly on historical western Europe and its propertied peasantry. This article analyzes the population of an estate (Pinkenhof) in the Russian Baltic province of Livland—one of the lands of the so-called “second serfdom”—during the nineteenth century, before and after the emancipation of serfs. Here peasants did not own land; the most valued good that peasant families had to bequeath was an office—the headship of a farmstead. Emancipation brought a substantial decrease of kin as successors to headships, and a corresponding increase in the proportion of headships that went to non-kin from the same farmstead. A possible explanation for this phenomenon lies in the new attitudes of the post-emancipation period, as estate owners and peasant families gave greater value te demonstrated competence than to kinship in choosing candidates for headships
