Our World's 7 Kinship Systems

Our conception of family highly depends on the culture we were born in. Different societies classify kinship relations differently and therefore use different systems of kinship terminology. However, there are surprisingly only 7 known systems that were used throughout history. How many of them can you find?
Includes the 6 traditional kinship systems listed by Lewis Henry Morgan in Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1871) as well as the one that was later described by Floyd Lounsbury.
You are given examples of societies in which these systems are used as hints.
