How are families and products related?

Products are found on sites as example.com/family-slug/product-slug/.  As such, each product needs to be assigned to at least one family.

For example, if you have a family named 'Manuals' and a product in that family named 'Desk Assembly Instructions', the product can be found at example.com/manuals/desk-assembly-instructions/.

Products can be added to families via the context menu on the product list page.
