This text focuses on the community of portestant Bulgarian Czechs, who lived in the years 1900-1950 in two villages Vojvodovo (north-western Bulgaria) and Belinci (eastern Bulgaria). Within the frame of this community the inheritance practices and strategies of the passing of family possession between generations are analysed in relation to family relations and gender. Attention is dedicated expecially to the preponderant ideology of dividable property, the practice of transfer of the property inter vivos, the favouring of male heirs and the youngest son as inheritor of the homestead of parents. These characteristics are further analysed with respect to the family strategies, family relations and gender (im) balance within the frame of this community. The practice of heritage is analysed also with respect to the predominant subsistence strategy (agriculture) and the efforts of the parents to enable the children to keep on in this subsistence that ultimately led to the parcelling out of the land and to repeated migrations for land., Lenka J.
