A first Cousin to any of your direct linage family - persons you directly descend from or who directly descend from you; your Parents, Grandparents, Great-grandparents, your Child, Grandchildren etc., - is a first cousin to you, but are removed of course. Example The first Cousin of your Great-grand parent is; first Cousin once removed to your Grandparent, first Cousin twice removed to your Parent, first Cousin thrice removed to you, first Cousin 4 times removed to your Child and so on. The siblings of your Mother and Father are your Aunts and Uncles. The siblings of your Grandmother or Grandfather are you Grandaunts and Granduncles. (Commonly though incorrectly referred to as Greataunts or Greatuncles) The siblings of your Great-Grandmother or Great-Grandfather are your Great-Grandaunt or Great-Granduncle. NOTE For legal and genealogical reasons the term GREAT does not stand alone for any relative, it is only correct in conjunction with GRAND, as in Great-Grandfather
