Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What kind of relative would my great-grandmother's brother's great-grandson be (e.g. first, second cousin)?

third cousin
if you share grand parents you are first cousins
share great grandparents you are second cousins
in your example, you share great great grandparents, so third.

I have noticed in Yahoo! genealogy, every one has a different notion about these things. The way I was taught, a child of your grandmother (not your parent) would be your fist cousin. For each generation going back (great grandmother, great-great grandmother) the number would increase: i.e., grandmother - first cousin; great-grandmother - second cousin; great-great grandmother - third cousin, and so on.

3rd Cousins.

Your grandparents would have been 1st cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's children.

Your parents would have been 2nd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's grandchildren.

You are 3rd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's great-grandchildren.

Sometimes it is easiest to just line it out. Call your great grandmother Alice and her brother Andrew, their children Barbara and Bruce, and so on:

Alice & Andrew = Siblings
Barbara & Bruce = 1st cousins
Carla & Charles = 2nd cousins
Dimkasmir & Daniel = 3rd cousins

There are two ways to do it; children with a common "n" great grandparents are "n+2" cousins
(1st great GP = 3rd cousins,
2nd great GP = 4th cousins
and so on

or, children of Nth cousins are N+1 cousins. Children of 2nd cousins are 3rd cousins, etc.
