Genealogy Chat

Hi everyone This is my first post although I must admit I've kind of been hiding in the background for a while. Everyone seems really helpful so here goes -------- Can any one help me sort out my family connections? I am married to my mothers, mothers, fathers, brothers, sons, son. Question - purely out of curiosity, what does this make me to my husband as well as being his wife, and can anyone give me any of the other relationships as well. I am literally going round in circles, and my kids think I've gone mad. Thankyou xx

2nd cousins once removed? Let me check

.... a distant cousin (third is my bet)

Not really sure but I think you are third cousins. Sue

Try Googling 'relationship chart'. Tim

not sure as I've confused myself - but I think if you are the 2nd great grandchild & your husband is the great grandchild - that makes you 2nd cousins 1 time removed (http://www.searchforancestors*com/utility/cousincalculator.html)

Second cousin once removed :o)) Great-grandfather..............His brother Grandmother........................First cousins to your gran and son of above Mother..................................Your hubby Second cousin to your mum and son of above You - second cousin once removed to hubby Merry

Thanks for your replies. I will try googling and the cousin calculator, I never thought of that. My kids have been winding their dad up callling him cousin for ages. I think its wearing a bit thin now though. Cheers again xx Thanks Merry and everyone

Agree with Louise and Merry. You are second cousins once removed, so if you have kids together, their dad is their second cousin twice removed too. Kath. x

Okay I found the cousin calculator - how fantastic - only trouble is I am going to be matching all my rellies up from both sides now, and we still haven't had our tea :~( I think it also means that if my kids are placed under my husbands side (if you know what I mean) then they are my 3rd cousins I think. I'm only just getting used to being a parent after 17 years lol Thanks again for your help xx

Any signs of webbed feet yet?

Hi Peter I had to chuckle when I saw your reply as I found out only yesterday that my gr grandad - who is my hubbies grandads brother did have webbed feet and opened a local swimming pool. Bit of a celebrity in his day lol xx

I've just found one on our tree. Not quite as close as yours though. My wife's third cousin is married to a chap who is seventh cousin to both of them.

Hi I have web toes but I can't swim. My mum ,grandma and greatgrandma had them but none of my children have them Bren
