Use the Other Relationships feature to connect individuals who were not family or whose family relationship cannot be identified.
You can add the following Other Relationships to Family Tree:
Apprenticeship
Apprentices worked in exchange for education and usually lived in the same household as their masters.
Employment
Many historical records identify relationships between people that were created through employment. Some employees, like servants or gardeners, may have lived in the same household as the employer.
Godparent
Godparents are individuals who were specifically designated at a child’s christening to be their mentor and guide throughout life. Godparents aren’t legal guardians, but they can be if parents take legal steps to make them such.
Household
Use the Household relationship when someone lived in a household but had no family relationship with the owner.
Neighbor
Use the Neighbors relationship for people who lived close to someone else. Historically, it was very common for entire neighborhoods to relocate together. Keeping track of neighbors is a good way to get past genealogical brick walls.
Relative
Use the Relative relationship when you know that two people are related but you don’t know how.
Enslavement
Use Enslavement to record the relationship between enslaved persons and slaveholders. If you know the emancipation date, you can add it to the relationship to document when the enslavement ended.
