While it should be as neutral as possible, the (usually) older family member should always be mentioned first. Even though there are exceptions - an uncle can be born later than a nephew - this will still use the same template. There will be no distinction between fraternal or maternal grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc.

Relationships in families can be genetic or non-genetic. The latter includes marriages and adoptions. So if your mother's brother marries a woman, she will still be considered your aunt.
Relationships in families can be genetic or non-genetic. The latter includes marriages and adoptions. So if your mother's brother marries a woman, she will still be considered your aunt. This also means that the in-laws distinction is applied to relations to people who are ''specifically given the "xyz-in-law" term in English''. There are such things in English as a father-in-law and a son-in-law and a brother-in-law, but there is no "aunt-in-law"; your uncle (by blood)'s wife, in English, is just called your aunt, the same as your aunt by blood, so we use the same term.
