Some of these citizens who have joined other groups may feel that because NR
is making such an effort on the census, that they will want to rejoin as
allies or even as citizens. It is worth thinking about.

The family system was active in ancient Rome -- most family members
hung together politically, and while there were certainly cases where
brother publicly opposed brother, it was considered the exception
rather than the rule. Also, over time, the more numerous families
developed branches, so that the Cornelii Gracchi and the Cornelii
Metelli might find themselves on opposite sides of an issue. (I don't
know whether those two specific branches ever opposed one another, I'm
just using the names as an example.)

The family (gens) system has been the subject of much debate in Nova
Roma, and there are currently several sorts of gentes. I would never
expect every Cassius or Cassia to support my views, and while the
Cassian bond might keep me from being completely rude to a "relative"
whose views I disliked, I would certainly not hesitate to express my
opposition in dignified terms.

To be sincere, I have to say that I have found a similar response
when looking for someone to impart the Academia Religio course among
our current priests.
