Annotation	Structured interviews were used to collect data on social ties with families and friends of European Americans who had retired to a Florida retirement location. The conceptualisation of multiplexity in this article combines information on type and direction of activity reported by respondents with respect to each member of their network. Friendships involving shared ethnic background between the elder and network member occupied an intermediate position between kin relations and other friendships, a pattern that remained when "back home" location was controlled for.
