Looking at that chart a little more, I see that it diverges from my aunt/uncle niece/nephew description. What I would call a great nephew, they called a grand nephew; what I would call a great-great-nephew, they call a great-grand-nephew. Unfortunately, the chart does not list the opposite relationship, although this would seem to imply that what I called a great-aunt would be a grand-aunt. That sounds pretty funny to me, though... Does anyone else know anything about this?
