Given the patrilineal and patriarchal structure of traditional Albanian society, solidarity networks between married Albanian women and their family of origin have until recently been limited. This paper presents data from a multi‐sited study of rural Albanian migrants and non‐migrants. It shows how the experience of migration has led in some cases to a loosening or renegotiation of male solidarity behaviour towards ageing parents and patrilineal kin (although the expectations of non‐migrant patrilineal kin do not seem to be changing with the same rapidity), and also to a widening of transnational and local female solidary behaviour towards their own kin (not always patrilateral). The paper discusses in what cases this solidarity is most commonly produced or expected, what form it takes, and how it is interpreted by actors of local and diaspora society. When the expectations of non‐migrant kin are not fulfilled by male migrant/non‐migrant kin solidary behaviour, can female kin solidarity ‘fill the gap’, or is it interpreted as being of another nature
