This article addresses the debate over the peasant household by using the example of a French wine commune to challenge the notion of the universal nuclear family. Household organization and family demographic patterns varied distinctively among laborers, farmers, and landowners in this commune in the nineteenth century. The influence of inheritance, marriage patterns, fertility, and work patterns on household organization is explained. A second finding is that extended households increased in number between 1836 and 1866. Far from dis appearing with "modernization, " extended households enabled some families to adapt to market forces by mobilizing household resources and labor in new ways
