I found this bit on the internet among many others. This one makes the most sense.
Great nephew or Grand nephew?
Why is there no explanantion for the word grand nephew in the oxford dictionary. Our niece had a son and in england he is called our great nephew but in America he is called Grand nephew. Which is correct?
Many genealogists (and I am an amateur one) have begun stressing the use of "Grand Nephew" for the situation you describe (at least here in North America) because it is emminently logical. The use of "Great" niece or "Great" Nephew is the only instance of illogical titles in a family tree hierarchy.
Your parents' parents are your "grand"parents and you are their "grand"child. You are two generations apart. Your grandparents' parents are your "great"-grandparents. You are three generations apart. It thus makes no sense at all to have a nephew who is two generations removed from you to be your "Great" Nephew. He is your "Grand" Nephew and his son would be your "Great"-Grand Nephew.
I'm glad you asked this question because your mostly hear people refer to their "great" nephew and when I explain the lack of logic behind it, I see the lightbulbs come on. As soon as I explain it, people tell me it makes absolute sense to use "grand" instead of "great".
And, by the way, most genealogy programs (either on computer or on paper), here in North America, refer to these relationships as "grand" and not "great".
Our ash tree looking good. Because Ken had it treated for a disease supposedly going to take it down. So far treatment worth it!
My husband is 86 and still sexy
A huge branch came down so getting it sawed up for clean up day next weekend.
This Ash not so lucky. Many around town like this.
Big branch, big pile of cut up brush. Will borrow our good neighbor's trailer next week to haul it away.
