Parsma was home to the following families: the Kaadze, the Torghvaidze and the Sulakauri, the Kaadze forming the main part. The "three fortress-houses standing close together" probably belonged to the Kaadze, since they lived together in several towers linked by annexes (these annexes no longer exist); the buildings themselves were called the "joined houses". G. Bochoridze mentions several towers — the village tower and those of the Kaadze, the Tsazikebi, the Hashianebi and Aluda — but gives no details as to which stands where or to whom each belonged.
