From the description of the ownership structure and family system in Catalonia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the site of each individual is defined. From this definition we analyze the different social networks that were generated, the social fabric derived from the matrimonial chains, the role of women in the relationship between houses, fictional kinship, family and Church relationship through children coming into the Church, the networks derived from the emigration to the city of some children, the practices developed to gain access to the masoverías, the way in which modest families inserted in the labor market to obtain the resources that did not provide them the peasant exploitation. Networks make sense when they are studied related to the way individuals access resources.
