The relatives that I know a) are in the U.S. b) are eligible to vote c) did vote amount to a fairly small number. All voted for Clinton.
I forgot my friends. Any Trump voter is no friend of mine. It's not personal, it's just that my family and I have more to lose than most. Of the friends whose vote I know, most voted for Clinton, a few voted for Johnson, Stein, and McMullin (this being Utah, of course).

Mom: Clinton
Dad: Trump
Stepdad: Not voting (likely)
"Stepmom": Trump
Maternal Grandmother: Not sure, but probably Hillary
Maternal Grandfather: N/A (likely would have been Trump if alive)
Paternal Grandfather: Trump
Paternal Grandmother: Trump
Maternal Uncle: Presumably Johnson, since he voted for him in 2012
Paternal Uncle: Trump
Paternal Aunt: Hates them both, really only cares about abortion, not sure

Most of my friends are for Trump or are undecided between Trump and a protest vote.  Very few of them actually like Trump, though.  Most were Rubio supporters in the primary.

Your mother is a Democrat?

Me (NY): Trump (Romney)
Wife (NY): Not voting but leaning Trump (Romney)
Mom (MD): Trump (Romney)
Dad: Non-voter
Cousin1 (CA): Clinton (Obama)
Cousin2 (GA): Clinton (Obama)
Aunt1 (PA): Clinton (Obama)
Uncle1 (PA): Clinton (Obama)
Aunt2 (GA): Clinton (Obama)
Uncle2 (GA): Trump (Obama)
Uncle3 (TX): Trump (Romney)

Of my friends which are all in NY I would say in 2012 they went for Romney over Obama something like 15-5.  This time it will be something like Clinton 18-2 although I suspect there are some hidden Trump votes despite what they say to me there so it could be Clinton 15-5.

It ended up being

Me (NY): Trump
Wife (NY): Did not vote
Mom (MD): Trump 
Dad: Non-voter
Cousin1 (CA): Clinton
Cousin2 (GA): Clinton 
Aunt1 (PA): Did not vote 
Uncle1 (PA): Did not vote
Aunt2 (GA): Did not vote
Uncle2 (GA): Did not vote
Uncle3 (TX): Trump 

Out of around 20 friends it was 16 Clinton 2 Johnston 2 Did not vote.  None of my friends publicly admitted to voting for Trump.

Nearly everyone in my family and circle of friends, with the exclusion of my mom's dad and her stepmom and a handful of friends, voted for Trump. The rest voted for Clinton, and one friend voted for Johnson.

You know, that argument could work if I actually ever claimed to be tolerant.

My entire family voted for Clinton except for one cousin who wrote in Bernie Sanders and my father who left it blank.

My circle of friends begrudgingly voted for Clinton as an anti-Trump vote.

I don't know any American relatives that voted (since they aren't citizens yet), but I know my Uncle and a Cousin would vote for Hillary. Anyone else is a total unknown to me.

Almost everyone in my immediate family who voted, went for Clinton, as did nearly all of my friends who were eligible to vote in November. I know a fair handful of people from school who supported Trump, but they weren't old enough to vote.
