JOHN is an uncle to "A"
(John and "A"s mother are brother-sister)

ELIZABETH is an aunt to "B"
(Elizabeth and "B"s father are sister-brother)

JOHN and ELIZABETH marry.

My question : How is "A" related to "B" ?

Thinking caps at the ready !

Thanks, SRS, for that useful website.

It came up with "non-blood" relative in this case, but I am sure the site will be useful in the future.

My thinking was that "A" and "B" are first cousins (by marriage only). Probably that's too much simplification.

Thanks.

A and B are not related to each other, but any children of John and Elizabeth will be cousins to both of them.
