So your great GF's brother was also a great GF. Are you asking what was the relationship between these 2 men, or what relation GGF's brother was to you?

I'm on the wrong computer to offer the actual URL, but there is a site which lists how such relationships work. There's a thread about it, too, but I really can't recall a likely significant word to use in the thread search. Two lots of half-help, sorry. Christine
