“…However, in the societies the surnames are polyphyletic, and this violates one of the assumptions of surname analysis. The complexity of caste structure poses serious problems for the application of isonymy analysis to population structure studies (Kashyap 1980). Whereas, some tribal societies are not belong to the same structure as a Hindu urban population.…”

“…In the Indian context there has been a debate over the application of surnames for the study of inbreeding and genetic kinship. This debate is based on the premise that some of the assumptions of the isonymy method are not satisfied, especially among several castes (jati) and subcastes (Kashyap and Tiwari 1980;Kashyap 1980). However, there are several communities (e.g., tribes, some caste groups, and small isolated communities) where isonymy methods can be applied to infer population structure and genetic kinship (Kashyap 1980).…”

However, there are several communities (e.g., tribes, some caste groups, and small isolated communities) where isonymy methods can be applied to infer population structure and genetic kinship (Kashyap 1980). For example, the application of surname analysis has been validated among Ahamadiyyas, a religious community of Kashmir (Kashyap 1980;Kashyap and Tiwari 1980); the Yanadi, an aboriginal tribe (Vasulu 1980); and the fishing caste Vedde (Reddy and Malhotra 1995).…”

Surname analysis has also been used successfully to detect social networks (reciprocity) among the Yanadi, Pattusali, and Vedde in Andhra Pradesh (Rao 1995).…”

Over 920,000 Roman Catholic marriages have taken place since the Archdiocese of Milwaukee was established in 1843. Most of these records are extant, and all have been examined to ascertain consanguineous marriages. The changing average population coefficient of consanguinity has been calculated, by year and by decade, showing a clear downward trend since the turn of the century. The data are compared with reports of consanguineous marriage incidence from around the world, and in particular with all available previous reports from the United States.

Isolated tribes in remote areas are important for genetic studies, and one such little known subtribe of the Adi tribe, namely, the Adi Panggi (Pangi) of the Upper Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh, India, was studied for surname distribution to deduce the deviation from random mating and genetic kinship between villages. The estimates of homonymy (homozygosity) vary between villages; husbands show wider variation (0.009 to 0.23) than wives (0.005 to 0.054). The remote villages of Sumsing and Sibum and Geku Town show lower entropy among husbands' surnames than among Panggi wives. The highest equivalent surname number was found among Sibum husbands (9.9), Panggi wives (12.6), and Panggi and non-Panggi wives (13.5). The estimates of unbiased random isonymy among husbands and wives together show the smallest values in Sibum (0.05) and the highest values in Sumsing and Ramku (0.16). The random and nonrandom components of the inbreeding coefficient show avoidance of inbreeding among the Panggi villages (-0.012 to -0.27) except in Sibum (0.012). Genetic kinship between villages based on the Mij distance shows different clusters of villages among husbands and wives. Both the Panggi wives and the Panggi and non-Panggi wives show a similar pattern of clustering between villages. The wide homonymy variation between villages among the patrilocal Adi Panggi indicates differential genetic kinetics among husbands and wives, avoidance of inbreeding, and female-oriented differential gene flow with little effect on the overall intervillage genetic kinship.
