+Other family relatives excluded from this study include cousins,
+nephews/nieces, aunts/uncles, and in-laws.  Some children travelled
+only with a nanny, therefore parch=0 for them.  As well, some
+travelled with very close friends or neighbors in a village, however,
+the definitions do not support such relations.
