Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
It is sufficient for maintaining family ties to ask your uncle, even with a general question, such as asking: How are all the children? Or you can inquire about your cousins or your mother.
May you be successful in all good.
