Yes there are relative levels of kin-ness, and Clan-kin is close enough to count as kinstrife. (If nothing else, you all have the same ancesters). Check out Thunder Rebels 22-28 for the basics of "Kin" - Clan, Bloodline, Household. Kinstrife also applies across clan lines - if Clan A often intermarries with Clan X, then the two clans are related, and kinstrife can apply (Think about rubbing out one of your in-laws, or your Mother's Brother). Note that Tribes are (almost) purely political, so Tribal ties generally have no bearing on degree of Kin.

Not that I'm aware of (Greg *might* have such a thing for his own campaign, but I haven't seen anything like it at his office). A lot of people don't *want* "official" clan maps, as their own campaigns would soon be out of sync with the "official" maps.
