What is my husband's nephew to me?
Your husband's nephew is your nephew by marriage. Formally English has no dedicated word here; in daily life he is simply your nephew. On paper the chain runs: your husband's sibling's son, connected to you through your marriage rather than a shared ancestor — which is why a family tree tracks him on your spouse's side.

Nephew by marriage
English has no single formal word for this relative — “nephew by marriage” is the label genealogists use.
- You
- Your husband
- His nephew
From the other side, you are their aunt or uncle by marriage.
This connection runs through a marriage, not a shared ancestor, so the ancestor chart can't draw it.
