So, how will you also accommodate the mediaeval ancestors when natural relatives were not differentiated from other relatives? Brother, sister, etc. were used for half-siblings, step-siblings, in-laws, etc.
Interesting how you accommodate other languages in this instance but not, for example, in your 4-place location parameters which applies to the US only, where, even there, are well-known locations that do not have 4-place names. And while your are accommodating other languages, where are the diacritical marks, the lack of which excludes many languages?
