If you consider your great-grandfather's brother could have married anyone and/or had multiple marriages, and it doesn't make the person or people he married any blood relative of yours unless he married his own cousin, but if that was the case, I presume you would have mentioned it in your opening post. If he did marry a relative then you would need to know that relationship before you could work out how you are related to your 'cousin'.

Thank you Merry, for explaining in words that make sense.
As far as I know, the brother married ONCE only and not to a cousin, nor any member of the family.
So, my contact and I will be content to remain 'peripherals'
