I thought it was my great aunt, but was recently told I can only have a great aunt, if i have a great grandma/ grandpa.  My grandma's sister would then be my grand aunt, but who says that?

Great-Aunt is the proper usage.

you can have a godmother/father if you are christened, the are meant to guide you through life and be there if anything happens to your parents. i dont think there is such thing as a godsister/brother

Nope thats not a blood relative unless you are marrying a cousin or something.And even if they would accept your wife as a family member you arent married yet so they wouldnt accept that. Also they are looking for someone outside that home and a wife would typically be using the same amount of money coming in so if you couldnt pay she obviously couldnt either.

I believe she should be seated with the "friends of the groom" section. I'm saying this because of my own feelings. I am estranged from my mother. My step mother and I are very close. (by the way I am 35 so I am speaking from a adult perspective) and if I were to ever get married again or renew my vows with my husband I would want my step mother (the one who has always been there for me) to be close to me on my special day. I don't want to be forced to be polite to someone I really care nothing about on what is suppose to be my day.

i only knew my great-grandmother. she took care of me every day when i was little, but she died when i was 8.  it was cool because she was 80 years older than me which is a whole world of difference.  she could remember back to the turn of the century (1900, not 2000 of course).  she told me stories all the time about how the world was when she was little.  she really valued teaching children nursery rhymes, bible songs, and stories of the past.  i think she was really important in shaping the values i still have. also, i have lots of respect and some sympathy for old people now b/c of her.  it's got to be sad to be old and be living in a world that is so unfamiliar to you and where you don't really feel like you are a valued part of society.  i really miss her even today, but i'm so grateful that i knew her.  i'm sorry you missed out on that, maybe, hopefully, you'll be around to know your own great-grandchildren adn you can make good memories for them like i have.

If I could turn back the hands off time I wouldn't even be here. My grandpa died that night when my mom was in the hospital giving birth to me. If She would have been at home taking care of him and not in the hospital with me he'd still be alive. I know she didn't get to say good bye and that hurts her, she doesn't show it when I'm around but I have seen her when she is alone. So If I could turn back the hands of time I would want my mom to have a miscarriage so she could see grandpa again. "I'd undo it all"\n\n\nBunny\n( &#92;_/ )\n(='.'=)\n('') ('')    Bunny

What in the World, does not knowing who your aunt is, have any effect on when you get married??\n\nSo,  your Mom or Dad's Sister is missing from your life and you cant function?  \n\nI didnt know my Brother until I was 40 years old, married and has two kids!!!  He lived in the neighboring State and finally contacted us.  It didnt stop me from moving on with my life, and now that we know each other we are friends.\n\nDont get hung up on this, as it will destroy your life and possible marriage...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

I think I saw my gran's ghost or spirit in a house we moved into just after she died. My mum later mentioned feeling her presence as well. So why not? Gran would have loved the house, low, wide and no stairs to climb.

Ya this is real problem, my friends and sibs don't have enough time for me after their marr, worst is after kids, my sis is always behind them and wants to be this nice homemaker! Even if she finds time to talk she always brings up her family issues!/// Well on the other hand my sis's hubby is a nice guy..but we have very few family gatherings..may be thats how things work after marr///

You certainly are a sweet girl by helping your Grandma, I don;t believe I have a granddaughter that would't help me if I needed it. God Bless you sweetie, and hope you family gets well soon.

You are Family it is your obligation to take care of her , take it from some who has no grandparents , or parents or siblings. Some day you might be in this situation would you want to be abandoned ? To answer your question you dont get rid of her you love her , and let her know how important she is to you . If the BABES dont like your grandmother then they are not worth having anyway .

I am going to start by explaining the terms for others to understand.  A half aunt means the half-sister of one of your parents.  A half great niece means your half-sibling's granddaughter.  With this out of the way I don't think you are blood related.  I will make up some names to demonstrate this.  Your half-aunt is Ann.  One of her half-siblings is your parent.  She must have another half-sibling, Jesse, who is not related to you.  Jesse's granddaughter Amanda is a half-great niece to Ann.  Ann and Amanda are blood related, but because your parent is not blood related to Jesse, then neither are you.  I don't think there is a legal term for your relationship.  If your half-aunt has any kids you could define the relationship through them, such as my half-cousin's, half cousin.

If your grandfather was remarried when he died, then his land and things belong to his new wife, that is if he didn't have a will.  She can decide what she wants to do with his stuff.  Why was it never attempted to try and discover if your mother was actually his daughter??  Sounds like they waited a little to late.
