Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7 Send Message	Can someone clarify a relationship for me. I have been given to understand that the daughter of one of my Grandmother's sisters would be my first cousin once removed. So what would the correct relationship be to me for a granddaughter of one of my Great Grandfather's brothers ?? Bill
