There are several methods: Great great great great great great great grandfather
G g g g g g g gfther
G9
or, if it is a direct male line (father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father's father) it would be #256, where the father would be #1, his father #2, his father #4, his father #8, and so on.
Of course, in each generation, the mother would have a father: in this scheme, the mother would be in her own tree, but the grandmother would be #3, her father would be #6, and so on.
Me, I prefer the number system as it is easier for me to track ancestors.
There are so many methods: the standard tree, using fans, etc. Consult any good genealogy reference book.

He'd be your 6th great-grandfather.
Generation 1--you
Generation 2-your parents
Generation 3-your grandparents
Generation 4-your great-grandparents
Generation 5-your 2nd great-grandparents
Generation 6-your 3rd great-grandparents
Generation 7-your 4th great-grandparents
Generation 8-your 5th great-grandparents
Generation 9-your 6th great-grandparents

only term I've heard of is similar to what you say, if you are in same geneological line, you would be a grand-daughter, however many generations,"removed". Meaning, you are same bloodline, but many generations apart. As opposed to second-cousins, where other bloodlines are involved due to marraige, and one is less connected to a second cousin. It's confusing. Hope I helped a bit, not knowing details.

Probably can't-the US postal system has enough trouble just getting the mail to people that are alive.
