Two search engines, two different answers.

Google says First Cousin twice removed.

DuckDuckGo says Great Granduncle.

What does Tman say?


Eh...wot?

your uncle is your child's great uncle
your uncle is your grand child's great great uncle


my Grandpa's Aunt who was all of 2 years older than he was , was my Kids Great Great Great Aunt , they met and she interduce herself as their great great great aunt that is three times great not Old


not that uncommon in my family to have aunts within a few years of kids , if you have a bunch of kids and spread them out a bit the youngest of one generation is only a few years from the oldest of the next.

Great great uncle and great grand uncle are both correct as well as second great uncle.

second great = great great
3rd great = great great great

it is a way to notate rather than have to keep saying great

Great grand is the same as great but with the grand thrown in since they are in your grandparents generation.

Great grand baby daddy


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

How do I introduce my son’s father in law. Is he my grandfather in law. I don’t think so.

I am the great step uncle in law of my brother-in-law's step grandsons, Forest and Stonewall.
When Stonewall was three years old, his momma had left for work, and his Paw was working in the pump house when the boy had woke up.
He was looking for his Maw and Paw but couldn't find them so we walked all the way down their half mile long gravel driveway to the dirt road wearing nothing but his cowboy boots. The mailman picked him up about 2 miles from the house and carried him back to the house.
That boy will never live down that story. His Paw may well still be in the doghouse now, 35 years later. Maw can be as mean as a snake at times.

I think it depends a lot on how many branches your family tree has....or if it looks like a telephone pole grin
