Your grandfather's brother ( no greats there) would be your great uncle. So your own parents Great uncle ...would be your GREAT GREAT uncle. Gwyn |

There certainly is. It is the way that such relationships are named in Personal Ancestral File from LDS, for example. And is it so odd? WE don't say Great Great Father, but Great Grand Father, don't we? |

The Americans would say Great Grand Uncle, I think. |

He is your great, great uncle. Not sure if Americans use that term though. Gwyn |

I am writing to New Jersey for a birth certificate for my Gt Grandfathers brother ( they cannot trace one for my Gt Grandfather so I want the next best thing) and I have to put down and prove my relationship to him - but what is it? Thanks for your assistance:-) Bacardi X |
