kin network
parentèle


Explanation:
En anthropologie, on utilise le terme technique "parentèle" pour désigner le réseau de personnes apparentées sur cinq générations. (Tiré de mes notes du cours "anthropologie de la parenté" donné par l'anthropologue Jean-Claude Muller.)

J'imagine que l'on peut aussi parler de réseau basé sur la filiation/sur la parenté/sur la parentèle.
