About elipongo
I'm a single, Modern Orthodox, Jewish man.
I live in Ellington CT and I'm currently the Co-President of my synagogue, Congregation Knesseth Israel.
I work as a paramedic for the Ambulance Service of Manchester, a commercial ambulance service that does both emergencies and routine transports throughout the region.
In addition to my Paramedic License, I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
I enjoy Bicycling, Reading (Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Biographies, History), Blogging, Watching Movies on DVD (Yeah Netflix!), and meeting people.
I'm looking for that proverbial nice Jewish girl who isn't intimidated by someone who's observant. I want to settle down and raise a nice, observant family.

So, I've always wondered--you know how on TV they're like "Your mom's cousin's twice removed aunt.." or something like that? Well what does 'twice removed' mean?! Haha, it's so confusing.
Also, what would your grandfather's brother--make him to you?
What about your grandfather's cousin?? What would that make him to me?
lol sorry for the confusion & thanks for your time.

This is something that always confused me too for many years.
Until I read this article at the Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_chart
The article really explains it all a lot better than I can here.
To answer your questions:
Your grandfather's brother is your Great Uncle or Grand Uncle.
I'm assuming that you mean your grandfather's first cousin, that person would be your first cousin twice removed.
And your (again I'm assuming) first cousin's child would be your first cousin once removed.
