...and
what terms are used for ancestral relatives outside the immediate
family circles?
The siblings of any
parent, grandparent, great-grandparent would be aunt/uncle, great
aunt/uncle, great-great aunt/uncle. The spouse of any of these aunts
or uncles is also considered an aunt or uncle, but ONLY for as long
as they are married to your blood aunt/uncle; and that person's
extended family (parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.,) are NOT
considered related to you at all.
The children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc., of all those
aunts and uncles are cousins.
In-law relationships are very few. You have brother/sister in-law,
and mother/father in-law. That is about it. Your spouses
grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins, etc., would not be related
to you. However, if you have kids with this spouse, his family would
be related to your kids in the same relationship as they are to your
spouse, plus one generation (example: Your husband's grandparents
would be great-grandparents to your kids you have with that husband;
his aunt would be great-aunt to your kids; his first cousin would be
first cousin once removed to your kids, etc.). |
