Well some of my cousins are the kids of my parents siblings, so they have the same grandmother as me... which would mean my grandmothers' great nephew, is her brothers' sons' child.... only a tenuous blood relation to me
 
I don't know if I can explain it clearly.

Let's call the person I want to know about Ted. Ted and my first cousin have the same great-grandmother. My cousin's grandmother (daughter of that great-grandmother) is Ted's great-aunt and mother-in-law to my uncle (my mother's brother) the father of the cousin in question. :unsure:

You have to go back to see where you, your cousin and "Ted" have a common ancestor and proceed from there. "Ted" and your cousin have the same great-grandmother. How are you related to her?
 
I don't think you are related to Ted at all. The way you describe it the only familial connection is an 'in-law' connection. Your uncle married one of Ted's relatives, his great-aunt. Unless she was directly related to you as well, there is no 'blood' relationship.

Oh just read it again, she was your Uncle's mother-in-law, not his wife. So further back there is some connection. Talk about confusing, but then I'm easily confused. LOL.
