> If the aunt is a sister-in-law, direct genetic overlap will typically be less than 12.5%, as this person usually entered the family through marriage.

For a sister-in-law, the overlap will typically be 0%. — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

you mean coefficient of relationship. The "genetic overlap" will be closer to 99.9%. --dab (𒁳) 09:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology for father's brother vs. mother's brother (etc.) is pretty much universal.

The exception is the medieval Franco-Norman culture of exogamy which abandoned such detailed terminology. It is completely random to give Albanian and Persian terms in particular. It would make more sense to trace the history by cultural sphere, i.e. Greco-Roman terminology, Near Eastern terminology, etc. --dab (𒁳) 09:48, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What does "aunt-in-law" mean? Does it mean the wife of the uncle? --Yejianfei (talk) 15:26, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes (or I suppose it could mean one's spouse's aunt?). However, I've never heard ther term aunt-in-law. In the UK, one's uncle's wife is simply called an aunt, even if there's no genetic relation. Perhaps this article represents how the terms are used in the US? 86.191.247.118 (talk) 18:34, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, just someone who is obsessed with genetics, and wants to define Aunt according to it. It is just wrong.198.151.8.4 (talk) 16:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
