Thank you again Kath
In other words great aunts and uncles are grandparents brothers and sisters and aunts become great aunts and uncles to their nephews & nieces children, have I got this correct?

You are their daughter's great aunt. She is your great niece.

Kath. x

My sister son is married and they have a daughter so what relation am I to their daughter?

Thank you for the other information Kathleen & Rose

If your sister's children are married then their partners are your nephews and nieces by marriage only. They are not blood relatives. If they are not married then the partners are no relation at all.

Kath. x

Thanks for that information as I get a bit confused with the line of relatives.
May I ask if my sisters children's partners are related to me? I guess I will be my nieces children's aunt once removed if there is such a thing? This is all a bit confusing.
Kin

Rose is correct. They would be your mother or father's cousins and your first cousins once removed. If they have children they would be your second cousins.

Kath. x

I always get confused with that Kin, but I think I am right that they would be your first cousins once removed.

Thank you for that Rambling Rose, so would my great aunt and uncles children be my second cousins or something?

Libby I find it a bit odd that your relative thinks the connection is too distant. I want to know as much as I can find out, but sometimes I get stuck, wish I had someone like you who could tell me about my relatives.
Kin

About three months ago I sent a message (via pm on here) to the granddaughter of my Grandads brother asking her if she would like some info on the famly. Her reply " the connection is too distant to be of any value".

What is that all about?

your grandfather's brothers and sisters would be your great uncles and great aunts.

Hi
Please can anyone explain to me if my grandfathers brothers and sisters are related to me? I am not sure which family members are related and those who are not related.
