#Ultras haven't been described but i think their connections to their families are more ceremonial and revered

Recently watched a video how the only two Adeptus Astartes chapters to allow Marines at least some connection to their mortal families are Salamanders and Ultramarines and was thinking about it ever since.

With Salamanders it's all clear: they are defenders of mankind and the only chapter to almost always choose protecting human civilian lives over other objectives. Sallies even live and serve among people of Nocturne, they are encouraged to spend time with mortals and their own families, because they believe it preserves their humility and humanity in galactic war. (and this is why I love them)

But what about Ultramarines? As I couldn't find much info and video was vague on that too, except one sentence from one of the novels, I have just made too many headcanons about Ultramarines and their connection to their families and it's flooding my brain at the moment...
