We've had some discussions recently about when we should use relationship code 5 Non-Relative or 13 Inmate/Member when the person we're searching for is living in a hospital, asylum, school, ship, etc. Here's what we've decided.
If the person is a patient, inmate, or student use relationship code 13. Also use 13 if a soldier or sailor is living in a barracks or on a ship, since they qualify as members.
If a person is a teacher, headmaster, officer, cook, etc., in a school use relationship code 5. Even though you don't normally have to explain this code in remarks, please do so here. Do the same for doctors, nurses, etc., at hospitals and asylums.
