Is it natural to give/extend/convey your congratulations to someone.?

Simply use the verb "congratulate."

Thanks!

What do you say when a friend congratulates one of your family members indirectly?

My habit has been to 'congratulate you on' (something that you have accomplished); and to 'congratulate you for' (what you did that was impressive). If I congratulate a third person for his/her accomplishment, I would say, "Please give my compliments to your sister on her achievement" or perhaps "I believe your sister deserves our congratulations for setting a new speed record."
