Construct a family id from pedigree information

Create a vector of length n, giving the family "tree" number of each subject. If the pedigree is totally connected, then everyone will end up in tree 1, otherwise the tree numbers represent the disconnected subfamilies. Singleton subjects give a zero for family number.
