Hi there, I was wondering how people determine who is and is not a family because I am working on a project. At what point does someone get so far removed from your direct family line that you no longer feel connected to them? Since genetic ties appear to dwindle after four or five generations, when are people commonly seen as no longer being connected in society and culture?

A relative is a member of your family by blood, adoption, or marriage. This includes immediate family members like parents, siblings, children, and extended family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

On my Dad’s side, he’s one of eight children and the only son still alive. I have third, and maybe fourth, cousins from that side of the family, but we all live far apart. I’ve never met my cousins’ kids or their kids.
On my Mom’s side, she only had a half-sister who has passed away. However, I know her children—my cousins—and their children, even though we don’t live very close to each other.
On my husband’s side of the family, he was an only child. His dad had one sister, and both he and his sister have passed away. His mom, who is also deceased, had one sister who died when she was very young.
It seems like families are growing farther apart these days, which is sad.
