Description
Definition
SUBFREL describes the relationship of the individual to the head of the subfamily (in most cases, conjugal unit). It is distinct from RELATE, which identifies a person's relationship to the head of the household. There can be multiple subfamilies within households. The particular subfamily to which a person belongs is recorded in SUBFNUM.
Persons living alone without other family are identified as "heads" of family.
Persons living alone without other family are identified as "heads" of family.
