Learn English – Describing the type of family a person belongs to

concisionsingle-word-requestsword-choice

Okay, trying to come at this from a different angle…

I need a more concise way to say "Families for which you are a child and therefore show your siblings and parents" – something that would be suitable for a title of a table/listing. Additionally, I need a more concise way to say "Families for which you are a parent and therefore show your spouses and direct descendants." Again, something that would be suitable for a title of a table/listing.

Ideally I'm looking for a single word to precede "Families" for both titles, but 3 or 4 words at most would be okay as well. I just don't want to put a full sentence as a title.

I'm listing two types of families. One where the person is a parent and the other where the person is a child. The title for the section listing families where the person is a parent I'm using "Parental Families". I'm not sure what to use for the title for the section listing families where the person is a child. I really don't thing Childal is a word 🙂

Per Bradd Szonye's comment:

Are there specific terms for your immediate family including your children, versus your immediate family including your parents?

If there are no specific terms, what the best way to title the two grouping on a report?

Example 1 (Parental Families):

*Person* & Spouse 1 (divorces)
    Child 1
    Child 2
    Child 3

*Person* & Spouse 2 (so there are 2 families)
    Child 4
    Child 5

Example 2 (??? Families):

Spouse 1 & Spouse 2 (first marriage)
    *Person*  (biological)
    Child 2   (biological)
    Child 3   (biological)

Spouse 1 & Spouse 3 (2nd marriage)
    *Person*  (adopted or step)
    Child 2   (adopted or step)
    Child 3   (adopted or step)
    Child 4   (biological)

Best Answer

All four of your examples describe an immediate or nuclear family. In English, we naturally use immediate family to denote your spouse(s) and child(ren) if you are a parent, your sibling(s) and parent(s) if you are a child. To distinguish the two cases, the most natural terminology would be a child's immediate family and a parent's immediate family.
