What is my brother's husband to me?

Your brother's husband is your brother-in-law. He holds a sibling's seat in your family by marriage rather than blood — the same word covers your sibling's spouse and your spouse's sibling. His own relatives get no title from your side, though: only the person who married in takes a seat.

Relationship

Brother-in-law

  1. You
  2. Your brother
  3. His husband

From the other side, you are their sibling-in-law.

This connection runs through a marriage, not a shared ancestor, so the ancestor chart can't draw it.

The calculator below works out blood relationships through a shared ancestor — use it to explore the rest of your tree.

This relationship sits outside the shared-ancestor model, so the card above carries the answer and the calculator opens in its default state. Work out any blood relationship with it, or open the full relationship calculator.
