- A family member is someone who is related to you by marriage or blood, such as your spouse, your parents, your children, your brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, first cousins, nephews, and nieces, as well as your in-laws, stepparents, stepmothers, stepsons, stepdaughters, stepbrothers, stepsisters, half-brothers, and half-sisters.
