    There's one group you forgot about. If your parents become widowed or divorced and later remarry, their new spouse becomes your stepmother or stepfather. All the new stepparent's family relationships are the same as normal, but with the "step" prefix added. Any children they had from a previous relationship are your stepsiblings. However, if your stepparent and biological parent reproduce with each other, the new child is your half sibling, since you only share one biological parent.
    Also, if you're adopted, you have adoptive parents, but this just means that you have two family trees.

    The family tree should be in 3D - you can’t fit in the “in law” siblings unless you use a backwards line. But then that is more confusing, because you would have infinite layers of forwards/backwards lines since parents, grand and great, also have families and are only related through marriage.

      Not necessarily. Your uncle's nephew might be you, a brother of yours, a cousin of yours from a different aunt/uncle, or your uncle's wife's nephew (biologically unrelated to you). Your cousin's cousin can be you, a sibling of yours, a different cousin of yours, or your cousin's cousin on his other side (biologically unrelated to you).

      The reason the actual number of ancestors is much less than say for example your 15th grandparent which can roughly be calculated as 2 to the 15th power or 33,000 is simply due to inbreeding. This decreases the actual amount of direct ancestors substantially and these 33,000 can be perceived as irrefutably existing generational slots of which many are made up by the same individuals.

    I had to watch this after reading the Silmarillion to truly understand the incest happening between Olwe and Elmo's descendants.
    Olwe and Elmo are brothers. Olwe's granddaughter is Galadriel. Elmo's grandsons are Celeborn and Galathil.
    Galadriel and Celeborn marry, and are second cousins. But it gets worse
    Galathil has a great grandson, Elrond. Galadriel and Elrond are second cousins twice removed by blood because they share the parents of Olwe and Elmo. But Galadriel is also Elronds great grandaunt by marriage, because Celeborn is his Great Granduncle. It gets one level worse.
    Galadriel has a daughter, Celebrian. Guess who the hell she marries. Her third cousin once removed, and grandnephew Elrond. Oh no.
    I lied. It actually gets another tiny step worse. Elrond had a brother Elros. They are half elven and given the choice to be human or immortal elves. Elrond picks elf and has his daughter Arwen (already a product of gross incest), and Elros picks human. Elros' distant descendant is Aragorn. Making Aragorn and Arwen distant cousins as well. The story plays this for poetics as the reunion of the broken half elven houses. Yes. The reunion of two brothers children. My brain hurts.

      What are you sorry about? Not giving him an automatic pass on everything because we like him?
