The person in turn is a great-grandchild of their great-grandparents, there is a gap of 3 generations between them. From the point of view of her great-great-grandparents, she is a great-great-grandchild, 4 generations apart.

The number of corresponding ancestors can be calculated using the following formula: 4 × 2 to the power of the number of "ur" (with the capitalized "ur" at the beginning of the word). In the genealogy (family history research) variously changed names have been proposed in order to have the syllable Ur- only once in each name, for example "old parents" as a shorter form of "great-great-grandparents" (see generational names ).
The siblings of great-grandma or great - grandpa are great -great- aunts and great-great-uncles . Other children of great-grandma or great-grandpa, i.e. siblings of grandparents, are great-uncles and great-aunts .
