Add Other Relationship
The 7 suggested 'Relationships' should have a 'custom' button. So that a relationship not in the 7 mentioned could create our own relationship. i.e. piano teacher; coach; 3rd grade classmate; etc.

Yes, I would like a category for Cousin Relationships or Family Relationships.
I'm looking for a good cousins' chart. All that I see is so confusing. I want a chart that move horizontal as well as vertical.
I understand 1st cousin once removed but what is my child to this 1C1R. One chart reads 2nd cousin and another says 1C2R.
Let's get a good true chart!

Whilst every member of Community is entitled to make every conceivable suggestion for additions to the Relationships list, I do think this is now drifting well away from the purpose of Family Tree - i.e., becoming less and less connected with genealogy.
What next? I was thinking about a "People I used to meet at the bus stop on my way to work" category. I met and became acquainted with a number of people in this way, but should I seriously expect FamilySearch to make a provision for giving me a constant reminder of them?

I think the way to keep the feature genealogically-relevant is to make the types more general: instead of "neighbor", call it "friend, acquaintance, or neighbor", which would cover the piano teacher and classmate, and instead of separate "Apprenticeship" and "Employment", have a single "employment or work relationship", which could include things like fellow soldiers as well as co-workers.
