How go you go about analyzing family synastry? What do you look for first? Karmic aspects? House overlays? Do you look at Draconic charts? Synastry? Composite? Where does one even begin?

I start with the individuals own chart. For example, I look at the persons moon (or whatever I am trying to understand about the person) & see how they feel about their mother. Then I look at the mothers chart & then do a synastry between them.
My new niece has a moon in pisces conjunct neptune and chiron. Right there I know she will have some issues with her mom. Then I look to the synastry. The moms neptune squares my nieces sun & saturn square mercury. I would think there will be problems with communication & maybe trust issues.
I just start analyzing all the parts & houses & try to put it together.
I think it is hard to do your own because you will have your own feels about the relationship & may read what you want.

From what I understand, the synastry is what the people feel. The composite is what they create (what others see) when the two are together.

I proceed the way I would for any synastry. First I look at angles and axis: are there major aspects from one to another? Then I proceed with axis / planets, and then finally I look at inner planets aspecting each other and then inner/outer planets.
I look at house overlay but don't consider it much. I find tight aspects especially between Angles/Nodes/vertex and inner planets as well as saturn or pluto to be much more important
