Grandniece
Grandniece
A grandniece (or great-niece) is the female child of one's niece or nephew. The term is used to describe the familial relationship between a person and the daughter of their sibling's child. This relationship is part of the extended family structure and is an important aspect of genealogy and family tree studies.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "grandniece" combines "grand," indicating a generation removed, with "niece," which refers to the daughter of one's sibling. The alternative term "great-niece" follows a similar pattern, with "great" indicating the generational distance.
Family Relationships[edit | edit source]
In the context of family relationships, a grandniece is one generation removed from the person in question. This means that the grandniece is the granddaughter of the person's sibling. The male counterpart to a grandniece is a grandnephew or great-nephew.
Genealogy[edit | edit source]
In genealogy, understanding the relationship between a grandniece and other family members is crucial for constructing accurate family trees. This relationship helps in tracing lineage and understanding the connections between different generations within a family.
