[Distribution of family names in rural populations of Kursk region].
The coefficient of inbreeding and its components were calculated for populations of rural districts of Kursk oblast with the use of the isonymic method. The following values were obtained: F(it) = 0.000567, Fst = 0.000650, and Fis = 0.000083. The Fst value agreed with the value of Malecot's local inbreeding coefficient (0.000201). In the districts where the proportions of families with frequent family names (FFNs; a frequency of 0.001 and more) were 50% and over, these family names were sufficient to adequately describe the population structure. The migration index and the index of family-name diversity were calculated. Significant correlations were revealed between Fst, the migration index, the index of family-name diversity, Malecot's local inbreeding, the mean square distance between birthplaces of spouses, the effective migration pressure, and the coefficient of linear systematic pressure.
