Hello Everyone,  
I was discussing with a prospect client and the client ask if OpenEMR has the capability of linking families via relationships, the reasons for the question are:

1. If a family is linked via relationship, it will be easier for the doctor to be able to check illnesses that are hereditary and increase the chances of the patient to get a better health service.
