You don't write. You pray. ():-})>{+

Probably can't-the US postal system has enough trouble just getting the mail to people that are alive.

only term I've heard of is similar to what you say, if you are in same geneological line, you would be a grand-daughter, however many generations,"removed". Meaning, you are same bloodline, but many generations apart. As opposed to second-cousins, where other bloodlines are involved due to marraige, and one is less connected to a second cousin. It's confusing. Hope I helped a bit, not knowing details.

He'd be your 6th great-grandfather.

Generation 1--you
Generation 2-your parents
Generation 3-your grandparents
Generation 4-your great-grandparents
Generation 5-your 2nd great-grandparents
Generation 6-your 3rd great-grandparents
Generation 7-your 4th great-grandparents
Generation 8-your 5th great-grandparents
Generation 9-your 6th great-grandparents

There are several methods: Great great great great great great great grandfather
G g g g g g g gfther
G9
or, if it is a direct male line (father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father) it would be #256, where the father would be #1, his father #2, his father #4, his father #8, and so on.
Of course, in each generation, the mother would have a father: in this scheme, the mother would be in her own tree, but the grandmother would be #3, her father would be #6, and so on.
Me, I prefer the number system as it is easier for me to track ancestors.
There are so many methods: the standard tree, using fans, etc. Consult any good genealogy reference book.
