The Grand Uncle (or Aunt) must have a child to be related to you. It is their child. If the Grand Uncle and Aunt are the biological parents, they should be designated as the Grand Uncle and Aunt. If one of them is a step-parent of the child, then he/she might be designated as the husband/wife of the Grand Uncle/Aunt. If that step-parent were related through a different family line, then, he/she would NOT be designated as merely husband or wife, but as, say, a 2nd cousin once removed (for instance) or whatever the relationship is through THAT line.
The designation husband/wife is normally used when the spouse is not related in any other way to whomever. Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: John S.
