Hi

If I don't get you wrong, you mean "Who's the oldest child in/of your family?" In this point, "in" is correctly used, but when you use "of", you should ask "Who's the oldest student/child of those students/children?"..........

Hi Rosalisa,

Thanks for your response. You did get me right.

I notice that you're from Cambodia too.
