Technically, everyone is related to everyone else, at least to a certain extent. Even if the first population of Remnant was more than 10,000 people, years later, the 200,000+ people who pervade the world would all share relatives descended from those 10,000 people. That's really all "being related" means, is that people share a descendant. Usually, the ones we focus on are direct relatives: parent, child, brother, sister, cousin, uncle, aunt, grand...

But I could just imagine Ruby discovering that she and Neo share a relative 20 times removed and suggesting that they should be on the same side.
