Is there a difference between the words relative and relevant?

relative - is someone who is in your family relevant - a Word or object that has bearing on the subject your speaking of. (The information was relevant to the defendants case) Not much but relative is relating each to the other where relevant is having to do with the other. Like you and your brother are related. Yet, you may not be the same, which would be relevant. Other ways of relevant are if your talking about an issue , is all the information on the issue relevant to the subject. Not always.
