For a "Large gift from foreign persons", are my father (or brother) and my uncle considered "related parties"?

On the page, "Large Gifts or Bequests from Foreign Persons", it says that "you must aggregate gifts received from related parties".  (https://www.irs.gov/businesses/gifts-from-foreign-person)

 

On the instructions for form 3520 it defines , "A member of your family—your brothers and sisters, half-brothers and half-sisters, spouse, ancestors (parents, grandparents, etc.), lineal descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.), and the spouses of any of these persons;) (https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i3520)

I would like to confirm, if I were to receive a large gift from my father or brother (say $80,000), would a gift from my uncle (mom's brother, my mom now deceased and father remarried) (say $30,000), be considered "related parties"?  Would these gifts need to be aggregated to a total of $110,000 and be over the reporting threshold?

 

Thank you!
