1 grandfather is also a father=2
1 grandmother is also a mother=2
Second gen (husband)= 1 son and 1 father=2
Second gen (wife)= 1 daughter and 1 mother=2
grandchildren=3
1 father in-law 1 mother-in-law and 1 daughter-in-law=3

2+2+2+2+3+3=14

OK...there's these people...

A grandfather, who makes up 1 grandfather, 1 father, 1 child, and 1 father-in-law
A grandmother, who makes up 1 grandmother, 1 mother, 1 child, 1 sister and 1 mother-in-law
A father, who makes up 1 father, 1 son, 1 brother, and 1 child
A mother, who makes up 1 mother, 1 child, 1 daughter-in-law, 1 sister

The grandparents are children to their parents, who aren't in this family...

Their children have children, but they aren't in this certain family...

There are brothers and sisters not in this family...

So there are 4.

there is no way to tell because you don't know if they are separate people or if some of them could be more than one, so there could be a variety of answers. but i am guessing 5
