Hi Anna,

It may help to draw a picture. Am I diagramming this correctly?

     ┌────────────┐        ┌────────────┐
grandparent     g.aunt=g.uncle    grandparent
     │                                  │
   parent                             parent
     │                                  │
  your grandfather===========your grandmother


I've assumed that when you say great aunt you mean a grandparent's sister not sister-in-law. If this is right it means that your grandparents are not related by blood, only by marriage.
