Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum.
grandparents = les grands-parents

great grandparents = les arrière-grands-parents

What about "ancestors?" les ancêtres

Not doing geneology, I've never gone beyond great grand parents!

P.S. Why couldn't you say:
les parents de mes arrière-grands-parents

les grandparents de mes arrière-grands-parents

les arrière-grands-parents de mes arrière-grands-parents

???
