st: Creating household id for groups of persons

Dear all,
I'm trying to create an id-variable for groups of persons.
My data looks like this:
contract | id
___________
123 | 1
123 | 2
123 | 3
456 | 4
456 | 5
678 | 1
There are different insurance-contracts, and many people (id's) can be part of one contract.
Now I need a household id, which groups the people who have contracts together, like this:
contract | id | household_id
___________________________
123 | 1 | 1
123 | 2 | 1
123 | 3 | 1
456 | 4 | 2
456 | 5 | 2
678 | 1 | 1
The problem is, as you can see in my example, that its's not always the same people having contracts together, like id "1" has the contract "678" alone, but he belongs to household_id "1".
How can I create this household id?
Thank you for your help in advance,
H. Meier
