A family gathering included one grandfather, one grandmother, two fathers, two mothers, four children, three grandchildren, one brother, two sisters, two sons, two daughters, one father-in-law, one mother-in-law and one daughter-in-law.

What can be the minimum number of people present in the gathering?

In defense of my answer, the riddle does not specify that the relations mentioned must have theri recipricol partners present.
by this I mean a man is someones son whether or not his father is present
