      Comment:

      It is unclear what clinical utility or relevance of documenting age of family member at time the history is taken.

      The age of family member condition/disease onset and death (if the condition was the key contributor to death) are the two clinically important and relevant age values

      This element should be removed from the resource as thre is no good reason for the data collection in the context of family member history
