My dad married my mother's sister after my mother died. Wouldn'that make my mother also my aunt? Does that mean that me, my sisters and brothers are cousins? Would our dad be our uncle? After all he was married to our aunt. Just thinking....

He would use the term Granduncle whereas I have always used Greatuncle. Like you I looked it up in a dictionary (UK) and it says the two terms are synonymous. However if the mother's uncle is the Greatuncle then what is the title of the mother's father wrt the (?)nephew?
