Told of the same family (7)
I believe the answer is:
related
This clue is a double definition.
'told' is the first definition.
(as in relating a story)
'of the same family' is the second definition.
(relatives are related)
(Other definitions for related that I've seen before include "within family" , "Like family members" , "Kin; connected" , "similar" , "were sympathetic" .)
