Give "family" a new meaning with these terms that are likely to be found while doing genealogical research! Some are legal terms likely to be found in wills and probate records, and others are terms devised to describe particular lineage situations. Some are new terms, others have been in use since earliest written history. Do you know family the way genealogists know family?
