Add Lodger/Boarder, Inmate and Roommate to Other Relationships
Could you consider adding three new categories to the Other Relationship drop-down on the Details page? I am finding many people that are listed in census reports that are students, young families, and elderly with the census designation as Lodger/Boarder and inmate that are non-family members. Additionally, there needs to be a designation for people that are asylum, sanitorium, hospital, and prison residents.
Many elderly in the pre-1950s censuses that are not living with family members are living in a lodger/boarder situation and it would be helpful for creating better documentation of their life story.
Thank you for adding the Other Relationships section. It has been very helpful in connecting so many loose ends in my work.

I would definitely file both "roommate" and "lodger/boarder" under Household, and I think most uses of "inmate" belong in that category as well.
