PinkCow Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Posted July 22, 2009 Okay so my rough work sucks. Let me re-write; My Great Grandfather's sister is still alive. My Great Grandfather is my Papa's Dad. Therefore my Grwat Grandfathers sister is my Papa's Aunt. Therefore she is my Dads Grwat Aunt; Right? Does that make her my Great Great Aunt or my Great Aunt so Quote

pam Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 That would be enough to daze and confuse anyone. Quote
Hemidakota Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Just leave it as GREAT AUNT and call it a day. :) Quote
Honor Posted July 22, 2009 Report Posted July 22, 2009 Yes you are correct. You could also call her your 2nd Great Aunt. Just keep in mind that it might make the 3rd and 4th Great Aunts slightly jealous, but such is the pecking order! Quote
