It was stated that Johann Christoph is the son of JS Bach's great uncle, and that therefore he is JS Bach's uncle - if the original statement is correct, then he is actually a first cousin once removed of Bach's - not an uncle (JS's great-grandfather is J. Christoph's grandfather)! Please can someone check this relationship! 195.194.199.50 08:39, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I subsequently note that there have been a LOT of changes regarding this relationship - however, I am now fairly sure that IF JC was the son of JS's great-uncle THEN they are DEFINITELY first cousins once removed - see the cousin chart in wikipedia if you want to verify this. Also the page for JC's son states that he was JS's second cousin - which reconfirms the relationship. 195.194.199.50 08:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

OK - a bit of research reveals the source of the confusion - there were TWO separate people called Johann Christoph Bach - one was JS Bach's uncle and the other was his first cousin once removed. You do the math! I don't know how to create a disambig page or anything like that, but I thought I'd better stick a notice up on the page to warn anyone off from doing any hasty reverts etc.! 195.194.199.50 09:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

There are at least eight (8) people with this name. The german wikipedia site shows this in the family tree. For the record, in relation to JS Bach - there is an uncle, cousin, older brother and nephews with this name. The date makes this the uncle to JS Bach's father. meatclerk 07:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
