Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum.
grandparents = les grands-parents
great grandparents = les arrière-grands-parents
What about "ancestors?" les ancêtres
Mme

les parents de mes arrière-grands-parents
les grandparents de mes arrière-grands-parents
les arrière-grands-parents de mes arrière-grands-parents
???
