Whether someone related in a particulary way is considered ''part of the family'' likely varies depending on the society in which the family exists, and may have a very fuzzy edge. Traditional families center around a couple, consisting of a man and a woman, and their children. (Secular Western cultures (and probably others, too) admit families which are headed only by a father, or only by a mother. They may admit families headed by a same-gender couple.) Relatives who are direct ancestors or descendents are usually considered part of the core family: (great) grandparents, grandchildren. Other people related by blood or marriage to these core family members are typically also considered to be part of a family, at least in modern Western culture: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViHupwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">aunts</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjn5ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">uncles</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjhs5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">cousins</a>, and so on. The greater the number of blood/marriage/adoption relation steps one individual is away from another, the more distantly related those individuals are and the less likely they would consider the other to be part of their family. Societies differ in how closely related individuals need to be to be considered part of the same family. Human families typically have a functional role in society; core members often live together and pool resources. The family to which one belongs can, in many societies, dictate what opportunities a person has during their life.
