For all those that are having trouble realizing what Cousin relationship someone is to someone else, here's a chart online that you can follow and compare. See: http://www.grl.com/grl/relationship.shtml Also, this handy little thing was just passed along on another list as well (Gen-Newbie-L) Great-grandparents 1st cousins grandparents--------------grandparents 2nd cousins you---------------his father 3rd cousins your child-------------------his son You and the son are 2nd cousins once removed. I don't know if I can explain, but to get the removed, you criss cross, and the number of generations you go, is how many you are removed from that person.
