== Relations with the family ==
== Involvement = Intervention of the parents of the spouses ===
The involvement of the parents in the life and affairs of their married children was said to be more frequent than today. Now they give them advice if they ask for it. Their area of greatest involvement today is to care for and look after the grandchildren.
== Historical memories of the house and the family ==
Barandiaran noted that at the start of the 20<sup>th</sup> 20th century, in rural areas, all the members of the family would gather in the kitchen on winter nights, around the stove to get on with tasks such as weaving, sewing, etc. That was when old stories about the family, legends and many different traditions would be told, along with discussing religion and the hope with which the family’s ancestors died.<ref>José Miguel de BARANDIARAN.“Aspectos de la transición contemporánea de la cultura en San Gregorio de Ataun” in ''Etnología y Tradiciones populares''.

=== Recollections of the ancestors ===
In general, the houses usually keep a family archive with the wills, the successive conveyance of the house, purchases and sales of fields or upland, photographs of their ancestors, etc. The opening up of ecclesiastical archives has raised interest in genealogy today. Many private individuals, not only researchers and scholars, are interested in studying the origin of the family surname and of the original homestead.
== Family keepsakes memories ==
Keeping family photographs, keepsakes and documents was common. Certain valuable household goods such as furniture and tableware, along with clothes and jewels were passed on from parents to children.
