This man is an uncle by marriage; he has no common bloodline with you that you have yet referred to. (If you happened to find one, it would also produce another kinship term for your relationship with your cousin.) But his wife would be your great-great-great-aunt. > Thanks, > Kberry <[email protected]> You're welcome. Austin W. Spencer
