“Relative conjunction”

Hi Strands fans. When I saw the word "Relative" in the clue, I assumed it was going to be about families in some way or other, and I lucked out by finding the longest answer - GRANDCHILD - in the top right corner straight away.
That made the rest of the puzzle a doddle. I first got NIECE to its left, and then REUNION as the spangram underneath.
Now it was just a case of (figuratively) rounding up relatives. COUSIN was in the middle of the bottom half, with UNCLE in the bottom left and NEPHEW immediately above it.
Two words were left to find on the right-hand side: AUNT on top, and INLAW below.
