And it must not be a particularly common way of saying it in greek, not found one article on the first page of Google with "τρίτο θείος" or any articles that reference culture that use the term Third Uncle. But I am not greek so there could be more...socially acceptable ways to say it.

 * Isshin is the former head of a branch of the Shiba Clan and the current head of the Kurosaki family.

Also;
 * Previous Position - Shiba Clan

He left the clan, unless revealed otherwise in the story. Ichigo and his sisters are Human, and are thus not a member of a Clan of Souls. If they get invited to join the clan then perhaps but no they are not part of the clan, Isshin left the clan. They are related to the clan but are not part of the clan.
