Hi, Kathy- , Guess I wasn't thinking, but my great Grandfather's brothers would be my Great Great Uncles I am still confused by the difference between First Cousins once removed and Second cousins . As you know , I have 8 Double First cousins born in Selden. -or Stephenville Hospital and 2 more buried in Selden Cemetery on Duffau Creek in Grady & Joyce Parton Wyly's Dairy land. FIRST COUSIN ONCE REMOVED- , as I understand it are children of my first cousins, so would the children of my Double First Cousins be First cousins half =removed? Now add half siblings and explain it. I haver seen different explanations on other sites. Another question- Martha Catherine Mitchell was the third wife of O.C. Wyly in Georgia. Her aunt or double first cousin of her mom was Lucy Eddins, O.C.'s first wife. What relation are the grandchildren on their mom's side- Wyly side is clear cut.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Would somebody please tell me exactly how to state generations? For example: If I want to say I'm a 7th (or whatever) generation Texan, where does it start? My gr-gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather Elijah Isaacks came to Texas (then Mexico) in 1822 ...he was born in South Carolina but died in Texas. His son William, my 4Xgr grandfather, was also born in SC and died in Texas. My 3Xgr grandfather, Frederick, was born in Texas. Now where do I start counting? Would I be a 7th generation "Texan" ...or 6th ...or 5th ...or what? I'm setting up a website for my art work and thought I would go a little further than saying I'm a "native Texan" but I'm not sure where to start counting. Anyone know?
