Answers.Text: That dosnt actually work. If you click on add relationship to household after selecting the contacts it says Relationship type, so i choose Residential Community and the next field is set to Find Target Household. It dosnt show Find Target Residential Community.

Answers.Text: I just tested on Demo. Yes I agree it says "find target household' but does that stop you? On demo i was able to go ahead and use that to create relationships of type 'subhouse' with my target 'household'. is this just a labelling issue? This contact has 2 relationships created as JonG described http://d46.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid=206

Answers.Text: Thanks  I think you are missing my issue. We already have 500 residential communities already each one has a name.eg Oaklands Estate.When we try to use the method you described to add this Residential Community relationship to multiple contacts it asks for the Relationship type, we set to Residential Communitythen in the Find Target Household box we type in a Residential Community like Oaklands Estate it returns a household not found message. I assume that it is looking for a household rather than a organisation that is a residential community.I suspect it is something we will need coded.

Answers.Text: @GaryMartin I don't think we can help you without more information.  Could you please explain what a "Residential Community" is in your database?  That's not a built-in contact type.  Earlier, it sounded like it was a contact subtype of "Household"; now it sounds like a contact subtype of "Organization".  Could you provide a screenshot if you're not sure of the language to use?

  You may want to have a look at an extension we developed called [householdmerge](https://github.com/systopia/de.systopia.householdmerge). I am not sure if it actually solves your problem and it is still in a beta phase but it may be worth a shot.

  You don't need Batch Update for this - you can use the search action "Add relationship - to household". Note that this is the 4.7 language - 4.6 probably calls it something like "Add relationship to household".
