How this list was compiled: Every label and every other Spanish word named here was read on 2026-10-08 in two dictionaries: the Spanish-English dictionary of WordReference (https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen= followed by the word) and SpanishDict (https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/ followed by the word). Both give the gender and the family meaning of abuelo, abuela, padre, madre, tío, tía, hermano, hermana, bebé, primo, prima, papá, mamá, familia, pariente (a relative) and árbol genealógico (family tree), and both give the plurals los abuelos (grandparents), los padres (parents) and los papás (parents, informal). Bebé: WordReference calls it a noun of common gender and notes that Spain says el bebé for a boy or a girl while America says el bebé and la bebé; SpanishDict heads its entry el bebé, la bebé. Hermano: WordReference gives sibling as its neutral sense, and SpanishDict gives los hermanos as siblings or brothers. Los tíos as an aunt and uncle together is SpanishDict's entry (https://www.spanishdict.com/translate/t%C3%ADos). Papa without the accent, a potato in Latin America: both dictionaries. Yo, the pronoun I: both dictionaries. Who is whose child on the tree comes from the drawing. The wording of every line is our own. Licence: own work

The drawing: The site's own drawing of 2026-10-02, first made for the English family members page and used here unchanged. Own work: a made-up family drawn from plain geometry, nobody real, nothing traced. The one word on it, Me under the child the tree is read from, is English. Licence: own work
