✦ Synopsis
A comparison of population structures based on isonymy and on gene frequencies ( D O , Rh, Kell) was conducted for a sample of 28,205 individuals residing in three different provinces (Lucca, Massa Carrara, La Spezia) in northwest Italy, on the basis of both chronological and spatial subgroupings. Relationships between and within population subsamples were measured by means of kinship coefficients. The aim of this study was focused on kinship decay with geographic distance, associated with the great difference in location and variability between isonymic and genetic data. The analy-
