Nurus is Latin for daughter-in-law, the wife of one's son.
Nurus means daughter-in-law, the wife of a son. It appears when she acts as godmother or when an aged parent dies in the son's home.
Because nurus links an older person to the son's household, it can help you sort out which of several same-named men was the son.
As seen in a recordNote in a Latin burial entry
matrina: Barbara, nurus defuncti
