To study an asteroid family it is crucial to determine reliably the list of its members, i.e. to reduce the number of interlopers as much as possible. However, as the number of known asteroids increases fast it becomes more and more difficult to obtain robust list of members of an asteroid family. To cope with these challenges we are proposing a new approach that may help to significantly reduce presence of interlopers among the family members.
