text: Grandparents and Grandchildren are not close relatives? What strange corner of the universe did this come out of?
  I was raised by my Dad and his brothers - so my Uncles were not my close relatives? On my Dad's side - only one Uncle is left and six cousins - I have no siblings. According to the reasoning in these new rules - I have no close family at all on my Dad's side. What a load of shibai! YMMV
