Hi all- Not to belabor the topic, but I haven't seen anyone mention the way that I use to figure out "cousinship". If two people share grandparents, they are first cousins. If two people share great grandparents, they are second cousins, if two people share great great grands, they are third cousins, and so on. If Jane and I are first cousins, Jane's son is my first cousin once removed (one generation). Jane's grandson is my first cousin twice removed. Joanne Steckling

explain please: 3 brothers... John, Joe B, Joe C.. married.. John married Toni, Joe B married Sadies Joe C married Irenia John and Toni are first cousins Joe B and Sadies as well as Joe C and Irenia are 2nd cousins Toni is the aunt to Sades and to Irenia.. John , Joe B and Joe C are now brothers and John is uncle to Joe B and Joe C, Toni becomes sister in law to Sadies and to Irenia plus by marriage , boys are 1st cousins, and 2nd cousins I'm my own grandma....................?????? gloria On Sun, Jun 17, 2012 at 5:44 PM, Joanne Steckling <joanne@jsteckling.com>wrote: > Hi all- > Not to belabor the topic, but I haven't seen anyone mention the way that I > use to figure out "cousinship".
