I am trying to work out the relationship of a distant relative to my wife.

JJ (1809-1886) was my wife's Gx3 Grandfather.
His brother WJ (1812-1878) had a son TJ (1854-?)
TJ had a son EJJ (1878-1935).

My question is; what relationship is EJJ to my wife??

Hope I've described it clearly, and would appreciate any response/help.
Thank you.

You can work it out using the following http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kordyban/chart/relationship_chart.html

If I understand correctly (!), I make it second cousin three times removed.
JJ and WJ were brothers. TJ and 'gt gt grandfather' were first cousins. EJJ and 'gt grandfather' were second cousins. There are three further generations in your wife's line, so three times removed. Clear as mud?

Thank you Rose Maybud & Trishy. I'd somehow got 4th Cousins, obviously wrong. Thanks again.
