Demographic values in all epoch of development of a society, for all countries and peoples were are and will be congenital describing feature, until there will be a mankind. Moreover, demographic values and their distinctive, natural and social bases are shown in all types of a society. To considering values, only at the end of XIX century was paid attention. Its pioneer was German scientist R.G. Lottse. In the center of attention of the Georgian scientists is studying the works of foreign travellers, in which contain data on Georgia. Georgian scientists: acad. P. Gugushvili, prof. V. Dzhaoshvili, prof. A. Totadze, prof. S. Tetvadze, prof. V. Lortkipanidze and others to this impontant question devoted several works. In historical development in family attitudes the big family or a family unit represented a transitive step from pair family to monogamous families. Vestiges of the big families were characteristic for many nations of the world up to the end of XIX century. This process took place also in Georgia, especially in such high-mountainous areas, as Svaneti, Kartli, Racha, Pchavi, Khevi, Ajara, Tusheti and etc.
