Pour remonter le temps : parents, grandparents, great-grandparents (arrière-grands-parents)... jusqu'aux ancêtres (ancestors). Pour dire « le frère de ma mère », on utilise le génitif : my mother's brother, c'est-à-dire mon oncle (my uncle). Pour les dates de naissance, on dit She was born in 1950 (avec was !).
