The neices of my husband are blood relatives to him but not to me, and since their mother is my sister-in-law, I call her children my neices-in-law and they call me Aunt Doreen.

The definition would be more of a familial one rather than a legal one; the census taker was likely trying to pinpoint the relationship of the neice to the head of household. Everyone is counted in the household at the time of a census and rarely do you see words such as "visitor" or "guest".



Cheers!

Doreen
