    Using the System.Xml the XmlNode has a ParentNode property so you could use that to traverse up the tree.

    Using the System.Xml.XPath the XPathNavigator has a MoveToParent method.

    Using System.Xml.Linq the XNode class has an Ancestors method which can be a bit neater:-

    GrandParent = Node.Ancestors.Skip(1).Single()
GreatGrandParent = Node.Ancestors.Skip(2).Single()
