Generation Gap

Today I met my eldest relative on Grandma Elaine’s side. His name is Bill and he is my great-great-uncle. While Mommy was explaining to me about our genealogy, I discovered that it can be a pretty confusing thing, even for those of us with brilliant minds. I don’t understand why his sister, my great-grandma Betty, is only great x1 when Bill is great x2? We may never know the answer, but at least it has now been officially established that I am doubly-great too!
