What is my granddaughter's husband to me?
Your granddaughter's husband is your grandson-in-law — an informal extension, since English only makes the first generation of in-law titles official. Most people simply say 'my granddaughter's husband.' Either way he joined your family through marriage, two generations below you, and his children with your granddaughter are your great-grandchildren.

Grandson-in-law
English has no single formal word for this relative — “grandson-in-law” is the label genealogists use.
- You
- Your granddaughter
- Her husband
From the other side, you are their grandparent-in-law.
This connection runs through a marriage, not a shared ancestor, so the ancestor chart can't draw it.
