विस्तृत परिवार/विस्तारित परिवार/तीन या अधिक पीढ़ियों का परिवार


Explanation:
A family that includes three or more generations. Normally, that would include grandparents, their sons or daughters, and their children, as opposed to a "nuclear family," which is only a married couple and their offspring.

In view of your note, I feel that you may perhaps use करीबी परिवार/नज़दीकी परिवार for immediate family and दूर का परिवार for extended family.
