Gary Templeman correctly writes:
Hogwash. The Grand Uncle (or Aunt) is a brother (or sister) to one of his
grandgathers or grandmothers. Whether the Uncle or Aunt has any children
or
not is irrelevent. My brother is still an Uncle, and related to, my
children
even though he has none of his own.
Gary Templeman
But your brother's wife is your childrens aunt only by marriage and should
be listed as the uncle's wife.
Right?
Art Seddon
I would think from a genealogical perspective that would be correct. When we
go to visit however, my children address them as Uncle and Aunt, not Uncle
and his wife. I don't know if that casual vernacular is the pattern in all
families or other parts of the world however.
