What is my son's wife to me?
Your son's wife is your daughter-in-law. A child's spouse takes a child's seat in the family from the day of the wedding — one of the marriage links English names formally. From her side you are her parent-in-law, and any children the couple has are your grandchildren by blood.

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