It is slightly complicated!
As I understand it now!
un aïeul = grandfather ,great grandfather or ancestor
une aïeule = grandmother
des aïeux = ancestors (applies regardless of gender but is a masculine noun)
des aïeuls =grandfathers ,great grandfathers (not ancestors)
des aïeules =grandmothers or ancestors
