Cognatic kinship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cognatic kinship is a mode of descent calculated from an ancestor counted through any combination of male and female links, or a system of bilateral kinship where relations are traced through both a father and mother.[1] Such relatives may be known as cognates.
