Consider to integrate a virtual assistant
(taskbot, lingubot) that allows people to pose questions to which in turn they get generated answers. It can help them finding relevant information by linking to the appropriate part in the turorial.

Automated suggestions according to family name
1 Change of concept: Adding a relative is only possible if s/he is registered as a member. A relationship request needs to be send to that person. Only if the person confirms the relationship it is established.
This way everybody is responsible for their own profile and privacy settings.
If a person can not be found e.g. because s/he is not yet registered as a member, s/he can be invited via e-mail etc., or if s/he deceased, one can add her/him as a member of one's family (person is added as deceased relative).
