Sorry if the title's a bit misleading but it caught your attention, did'nt it? (cos you're reading this!)
Anyway, I get a bit lost when trying to label the family members. For example I know my Dad was my father and his father was my grandfather. But what about the following, what are they to me? (sorry there's no prizes in the offering....):
my great-grandfather's daughter
my grandfather's daughter
my great-grandfather's brother
my great-grandfather's brother's wife
my great-grandfather's brother's daughter
my great-grandfather's son
my great-grandfather's neighbour's cat (oh, ignore this one, I jest!)
Cheers
David

I think I got this right.
my great-grandfather's daughter = GRAND AUNT.
my grandfather's daughter = AUNT.
my great-grandfather's brother = GREAT GRAND UNCLE.
my great-grandfather's brother's wife = WIFE OF THE GREAT GRAND UNCLE.
my great-grandfather's brother's daughter = 1st COUSIN TWICE REMOVED.
my great-grandfather's son = GRANDFATHER. or GRAND UNCLE.
my great-grandfather's neighbour's cat (oh, ignore this one, I jest!) A friend for life.

Hi
I never heard "grand aunt" before. I always called my garndmother's sister my great-aunt. Mind , that could be a Derbyshire way of doing things
