What is my stepdaughter's child to me?

Your stepdaughter's child is your step-grandchild. Your spouse's grandchildren sit two generations below you on the step side of the family, and 'step-grandchild' is established enough that most families use it without a second thought. There is still no blood in the link — it runs through your marriage, not a shared ancestor.

Step-grandchild

  1. You
  2. Your stepdaughter
  3. Her child

From the other side, you are their step-grandparent.

Step relationships run through a remarriage, not a shared ancestor, so the ancestor chart can't draw them.

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.
