I believe the answer is:

relation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'one of the family?' is the first definition.
'relation' can be an answer for 'family?' (family is a kind of relation). I am not certain of the 'one of the' bit.

'telling' is the second definition.
(to relate a story can mean to tell it)

'that would be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for relation that I've seen before include "wife?" , "Person connected by blood or marriage" , "Account" , "Grandchild, perhaps" , "Affinity" .)
