What is my nephew's wife to me?
Your nephew's wife is your niece by marriage — some families say 'niece-in-law,' though no formal term exists. She married one generation below you, into your nephew's seat. Any children the couple has are your great-nieces and great-nephews by blood, no 'by marriage' about it.

Niece by marriage
English has no single formal word for this relative — “niece by marriage” is the label genealogists use.
- You
- Your nephew
- His wife
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.
