Sister-in-law or brother-in-law are two of those relationships. I have a sister-in-law who is my brother&#8217;s wife and another sister-in-law who is my wife&#8217;s sister. Had my wife&#8217;s brother married, his wife would also have been my sister-in-law.  Keep in mind that for some relationships, &#8220;in-law&#8221; or &#8220;step&#8221; may never be used when describing the relationship. Individuals may be referred to as  &#8220;nephews&#8221; whether they are biological or related by marriage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course the difference matters to a genealogist and when analyzing DNA matches or those individuals who &#8220;fail to match.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the phrase used to describe the relationship is vague, consider all the possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"889\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/relationship-possibilities.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/relationship-possibilities.jpg 889w, https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/relationship-possibilities-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/genealogytipoftheday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/relationship-possibilities-768x207.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title of this post may conjure up memories of a college roommate you have not seen in years.
