Thank you very much Eileen, a very clear chart. Another thing that puzzles me is that in my family the term 'grand' uncle has never been used. We've always referred to 'great' uncles. Is this a local thing, or have others used this variation?

Perhaps it is a local thing to sue the term 'great' re uncles and aunts - it is the term my family has always used as well as other families - I have not come across the useage of 'grand' instead - it could be a term that was used more in the past of course and has been changed over time, as with the term 'in-law', which used to be used for any relationship which was by marriage rather than by blood. Be interesting to find out what others think. I must find my relationship calculator as I get in a terrible muddle - usually end up describing everyone as distant, or not so distant cousins....

Hello Tony, The chart probably originated in America. It was given to me when I joined the Family History group at our local U3A and I hadn't questioned the "Grand", knowing we always say "Great" when speaking of Uncles, Aunts etc and "Grand" when speaking of Grandparents, in England.. I am relieved the scan transferred ok.
