Only two survivors claimed in 1999 to see a niece or nephew weekly. Within these categories, patterns of relationships with children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews are described. This system may allow more variations in the disposal of assets, since more kin categories, such as siblings, grandchildren, nephews and nieces, are often beneficiaries. In the last group, the carers were a neighbour, a son, a son and daughter-in-law, and a nephew and a niece. In these cases, nieces and nephews seem to substitute for the absence of nearby daughters or sons.
