What is a great-great-uncle?
A great-great-uncle is the brother of one of your great-grandparents. He is a child of your great-great-grandparents, three generations above you. Each generation back adds another 'great': your grandparent's brother is your great-uncle, and your great-grandparent's brother is your great-great-uncle. His children are each your first cousin twice removed.
