Subject: Re: Ancestors & Descendants
It's a worthy addition to the Genealogical Terminological Lexicon -- to be
used as a generic term when one doesn't or cannot home in on a precise
relationship -- which can be difficult for distant cousins,
great-granduncles and great-grandaunts -- when one is not using a computer.

Dear Spencer, Renia , and Mike,
What would you think of ancestral cousin as a term or
ancestral aunt or uncle for that matter for back beyond
the great grands?
"Ancestral cousin" and "ancestral uncle/aunt" are far from new or even recent "additions" to the lexicon. Try Googling these terms.
