so, for all who don't really get these whole relationship thing:

In the books Anna refers to Emhyr as her cousin "...my cousin Emhyr..." (p. 45), yet there is no official english translation until 2017 as far as I know. Therefor the translation is maybe a bit poor. This my may mean a direct cousin (of the first grade in this case) but it can also mean further away from her (like 2. or 3.)

@Rhadagast: there is a such a thing as second grade niece, although I do not know who to call it in english exactly.

So based on informations both from the books and the game there would be to possible explanations:

1. it is a direct relation with either being the father of Anna and Sylvia a prince of Nilfgaard and thus uncle to Emhyr or a sister of their mother (their aunt) is the mother of Emhyr. According to the books this would be the best explantion

2. yet the game lets Anna say that her great-grandmother Adela Marta has married the youngest son of the former nilfgaardian emperor, thus indicating that the famile of var Emreis is at least since 5 generations the ruling dynasty of the Empire, what would make Emhyr, Anna and Sylvia cousins of the fourth grade (whatever called in english) and Ciri a niece of the 4 as well.

It depends on how you would like to define the information in the books and therefor if CDPR has interprated them right as well ...
