Cousins

Recommended Posts

My niece by marriage, after many difficult years of trying finally had her first child yesterday, a daughter, at the grand age of 43!

After a difficult few months of illnesses and bereavements DH and I are over the moon.

 

Thing is is DS a second cousin to this child?

Thanks all. I've just had a lovely time buying lots of baby stuff! Lots of lovely little clothes with bunnies on!

 

And I've resisted the urge to send tiny ballet shoes. I've have just come across my son's first pair though from 23 years or so ago!

If A & B share a common grandparent, they are first cousins.  If C is A's parent or child (i.e. one generation away), C & B are first cousins, once removed.

 

If A & B share a common great-grandparent, they are second cousins. 

Thank you for this explanation as it has finally solved the mystery of the relationship between my daughter and my cousins children.  2nd cousins - who knew!
