I think Buck is referring to the question even being asked, this term being so easy to find in a dictionary

Buck, ignorance is bliss? I am a pretty experienced translator living in the US for 18 years. Am I really SO stupid to come up with next of kin? In addition: "blood relative" is not in MY Dutch standard Van Dale dictionary: (man & vrouw) (blood) relation
(man & vrouw) relative, (man) kinsman, (vrouw) kinswoman
▼ voorbeelden
naaste bloedverwanten
close relatives, next of kin
verre bloedverwanten
distant relatives/relations

Not only would a bilingual person know this answer, it can be found in even the simplest Dutch to Englis dictionary.
