Abstract
It is pointed out that there are infinite classes of cases based on gauge groups of the form SU(p)xSU(q)xU(1) in which gauge anomalies cancel non-trivially for small sets of fermion multiplets that include symmetric tensor representations. These cancellations are non-trivial in the sense that no group-theoretic explanation in terms of embedding in a larger simple group is apparent. The cases presented here could be useful for model building and lead to models with extra leptons and an extra U(1) gauge interaction under which the Standard Model fermions have distinctive charges. In many cases the SU(q)xU(1) groups act as family symmetries.
