ODD RELATIONS (we all have a few)

There have been several questions lately on what  number to choose for  the following odd cases which are listed in the relation column on the manuscript:
  • partner
  • orphan
  • foster child
  • ward
  • companion
  • hired man
  • live in lover
  • nurse
  • teacher
In these cases, you can mark them as 5.  Remember, when you look at the description for 5, it says "servant, living with."  The comma between them means for servants OR other people living with family. (OK, you got me. One of those odd cases has never really shown up...yet.)

  1. I'd guess "live in lover" has never shown up, but that seems too obvious.

  2. The closest I have ever come is someone who is a housekeeper one census and the wife the next
