Kin Groups and Descent. Romanian kinship is bilateral (with patrilateral preference), generating an expanding network of increasingly distant kin and quasi-kin family, kindred, region, and nation. Kin relations also extend to one's Children's affines and to one's children's baptismal and marriage sponsors.
Kinship Terminology. Kin terms follow the Eskimo System with considerable local and regional variation in terminology.
