Σύνοψη	Kinship network analysis treats genealogies as graphs and applies network methods to study how marriage and descent structure a society. Pioneered by Douglas White and Paul Jorion's 1992 P-graph approach, it shifts the unit of analysis from the individual ego-centered family tree to the whole web of couples and parent-child links, making it possible to detect marriage rules, alliance patterns, and the circulation of people between groups that conventional kinship diagrams obscure.	Social network genealogy reconstructs the social structure of a community from genealogical and archival records by representing kin, marriage, and affinal ties as a network and applying social network analysis to it. Built on the network approach to kinship pioneered by White and Jorion, it uses descent and marriage links — often combined with other archival relations — to study cohesion, brokerage, status, and the rise and fall of social groups, especially in historical populations.
