Your Mac keeps a file that lists who it thinks your family members are, with a confidence score next to each name.
Researchers found a family classifier that uses 144 inputs such as - same surname, shared address, who appears in your photos on weekends rather than weekdays.

And you cannot change anyhting in it.
