Oh, hey! I understand how relationships really work - one has to know that if they're going to work with genealogy - I was just having fun with my cousin - 3 time removed, that is - Donita ----- Original Message ---- From: "Cooperbobw@aol.com" <Cooperbobw@aol.com> To: tnwayne@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 6:26:20 PM Subject: [TNWAYNE] Kinfolk? Donita, You are saying that if you have a brother or sister, they are designated as S for sibling. If your sibling has a child, he or she is your nephew or niece designated by N for niece or nephew. (However, if these kids are parented by separate of your siblings, they are first cousins to each other.) If your sibling has a grandchild, they are your Grand Niece or Nephew designated by GN. (But if two separate of your siblings have grandkids, these grandkids are second cousins to each other.) If separate of your siblings have great grandchildren, they are designated GGC, and are your Great Grand Niece or Nephew, designated by GGN. (These great grand nieces and nephews of yours are third cousins to each other if descended from different parents.) All the second cousins are related to the previous generation of first cousins as first cousins once removed. All the third cousins are related to the previous generation of first cousins as first cousins, twice removed. All the third cousins are related to the previous generation of second cousins as second cousins, once removed. Barbara **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
