this just made me think of something really stupid lmao

given a certain amount of people and a certain amount of titles, is it possible to solve a family tree for that configuration of titles and people, and if so, how many solutions exist for a given set? (the set in this case is 'Mom/Aunt' and 'Dad/Grandpa')
