All siblings and cousins on the same line are one generation. The next generation would be all parents, aunts, uncles, and so forth. To describe a generation further back to grandparents, every further generation will add one "great-" before relation, so talking about three generations before specified grandparents, "great-great-great" will be added before the grandparents.
