Abstract
This article is concerned with power, property and parentage in a central Javanese village. It shows that there is far more to Javanese cognatic kinship than nuclear families and personal kindreds. As an evidence, the article documents the great variation in the range as well as the importance of kin ties between different classes of village society.
