All in The Family

How Your Grandfather Can Be Your Uncle Too

The eldest brother of his family marries a widow who has a daughter
The youngest brother of the same family marries the daughter of the widow and has a daughter
This would make the oldest brother Grandfather and also Uncle to the daughter of the younger brother.
The oldest brother has a son born with the widow.
The New born son would be an Uncle and a cousin to the daughter of the younger brother

Once you have figured this one out, I will leave you to figure out how you can be your own grandpa!
