Russian term or phrase: сроднившиеся
Describing early 20th-century Bessarabia

Эта историческая справка нужна только для того, чтобы ни у кого не осталось сомнения:
помещиков, или, как у нас повелось называть, бояр, в Бессарабии не было; большинство помещиков получили в 1918 году по сто гектаров на 3-4, а то и 7 и больше семей, а поскольку в подавляющем большинстве это были не земледельцы, не фермеры, ***сроднившиеся*** с землей, то они распродали остатки своей земли и пополнили ряды «интеллигентского пролетариата» – чиновников, кое-как живущих на свою зарплату, или, как у нас говорили, жалование

English translation:with roots in
Explanation:
"With roots in the land" is an English phrase of fairly commom usage. I gather the sense here is that these people were not tied by history and tradition to the land they sold.

Explanation:
Зная все это, Аллейн испытал легкую гордость довольно земного характера, впервые окидывая взглядом ту землю, с которой сроднилось столько его предков.
Knowing this, Alleyne felt some little glow of worldly pride as he looked for the first time upon the land with which so many generations of his ancestors had been associated.
