Summary:<strong><em>This exploratory study analysis the social personal networks of the oldest generation in families with four living generations. A questionnaire to analyse the personal social network (IARSP-R) was administered to 23 participants, from the oldest generation (G1).

The contiguous generational subsystem (G2) provides most of the support, with differentiated contributes from the other generations.</em></strong>
