My daughter recently asked me who is a maternal grandmother.  I told her it would be the person's grandmother on the mother's side of the family.  She said it was the mother's grandmother.  Which is correct?  

Thanks!

   Maternal grandmother is your grandmother on your mother's side.In other words your mother's mother.

   You are correct!!

A maternal grandmother is the grandmother of any mother.  Your daughter's maternal grandmother is your mother.

@this is my nic Your daughter's maternal (you) grandmother would be **your** mother. Maternal refers to a mother's side.

Your grandmother is her maternal great grandmother.

She sounds a wee bit confused, but you are correct.

What in the world? Of course your maternal grandmother is your mother's mother. Your daughter is talking about her great grandmother.
