Ricardo C,

An extended family member is a collateral relative.  Not a direct ancestor.

Direct: Parents, grandparents, great grands (doesn't matter how many
greats).

Extended or collateral: Aunts & uncles, cousins, great aunts & great
uncles.  Basically, the siblings of your direct ancestors.

Here's the definition from Dick Eastman's Encyclopedia of Genealogy:
