What is interesting in
a kinship chart is that center isn't marriage, but rather yourself. How these
kinship charts though connect people to one another is through heterosexual pair bondings on either a matrilineal or patrilineal lines of ascent or descent. There are amazing amount of marriage systems in chart form from this site, including marriage systems of differing cultures.
Kinship Charts are common practice in college anthropology classes, the above diagram is from a class up in Canada in 2002, and
these instructions from a college professor from New York are from 2006. In conjunction with Chapter 9 ("Families, Kinship, and Descent"), you are required to construct a kinship genealogy chart of your family and write a brief report of your family history. Your kinship chart will be an actual genealogy chart showing your family history on both your mother's and father's sides.
