Distant Cousin Nomenclature?

[Rheghead]

I have recently got in touch (via Genesreunited)with a chap with whom I share a Great Great Great Grandfather. We share the same surname as we are both from male lines. How would I describe him as in a 'nth cousin nth removed' etc.

How does it work?:confused:

Thanks in advance

Rheghead :)

I can send you a chart - though I dont know how to do it here !

Can you contact me privately please.

A bit of searching has come up with the answer, Thanks.
