The family in which one was raised (parents & siblings), or the family one lives with as an adult (spouse & children), or are you asking for a medical history of biological family members (some people want to include aunts/uncles/nieces/nephews/cousins when there <i>are</i> significant issues, and some people say that's too far removed), grandparents...?<br /><br />Regardless of how you interpret "family," isn't that information already on the paperwork, and so not really a necessary question?WarmSockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192702662231361355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77079015405662277232010-04-07T15:15:16.853-04:002010-04-07T15:15:16.853-04:00Ah, yes, the family question.
