My vote is no blood relationship, but you and Pauline are in the same generation. If Pauline was the descendant of your grandfather's brother, she would be a second cousin.

I wonder if someone can help me with this part of my family tree. I have a relative named Pauline, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what to call her (she's some kind of cousin, but trying to figure it out is giving me a headache). If there's someone who wouldn't mind taking a whack at this I'd be very grateful. Here it is: Pauline is the granddaughter of my maternal grandfather's sister-in-law's sister. What is Pauline to me? Any help is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Clare Higgins
