Default How can I have multiple people in one outlook contact?

I use Outlook for both business and personal use. I find it very useful to
have all of my information on one "contact card," but it's impossible with
Outlook. Is there a way for me to list out a couple, such as "Mr. & Mrs.
John Doe" and then have a tab for their kids (who live at the same address,
but have unique birthdays, cell phone/private phone #s, email addresses)? I
like keeping track of not only our personal friends and family's information,
but also like to keep track of my clients' special days so I can send along a
small gift or a personal note.

A mail merge feature would also be helpful for the same scenario as above.
For Christmas cards or personal send-outs, sending to "The Doe Family" or
even "Mr. & Mrs. Doe & family" would be very helpful instead of editing each
label by hand.

Thanks!

Paula

you can add custom fields to a form or put the extra info in the notes field
but if you want reminders you'll need a contact for each.
