 as this relay".

 Let me try to rephrase that a bit by taking out technical terms as much as
 possible and instead explain this conceptually:

 "Array of fingerprints or nicknames of relays that this relay considers to
 be part of its family.  There are no cross-checks whether the listed
 relays exist or consider this relay part of their family, so that the
 effective family of this relay may be smaller.  Omitted if empty or if
 descriptor containing this information cannot be found."

 Feel free to suggest more tweaks.
