Consultant answer: Depends

OK, now that we have that out of the way, what do you mean by "family?" These days, family has lots of permutations: dad's family, mom's family, other mom's family...

I prefer this:

family -----< fam_link >----- persons

fam_link includes properties such as:
role (father, mother, sister, etc.
contact_level (1,2,3 in your description)

This permits one person (I presume a student?) to have more than one family, and lets you freely choose the primary, secondary contacts among all of the persons. reflects reality the best way I know how.
