Kinship groups (5)
I believe the answer is:
clans
'kinship groups' is the definition.
('clan' can be a synonym of 'kinship group')
This is the entire clue.
(Another definition for clans that I've seen is " Scots family group".)
I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Thinks.com, the USA Today and The Guardian.
