Can a grandparent set up an account that would include their adult child and their spouse and children? Could an aunt or uncle join?

There are no 'degrees of separation' nor age restriction for who can be part of your Family Sharing account. The only restrictions are a maximum of 6 individual accounts, and they all have to be in the same country.
