How do I edit Siri's relationship data?

It has me down for two wives, once under "Beth" and again under her full name.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, iPhone 4S

I'm not sure if this answers your question. But I was able to indicate my family relationships by going into Address Book (on my iMac) and adding connections to people on the contact card for myself. There are these fields where you can add "friend" or assistant" but you can change those fields to "mother," "boyfriend," etc. You can write anything you want there. And once I did that, Siri knew who I was talking about.

This resolves the issue. At long last, the iOS supports relationships, with a new field for "Relationships," which now display as they have long displayed in Address Book on the mac itself. You can edit your own relationships under your contact card. Note, you can add custom labels, e.g., daughter, son, girlfriend, rather than just "child" or "friend." Siri will then find your daughter.


Thanks for the responses.
