Cousin Once Removed? / How are we related ?
« on: Tuesday 16 May 06 16:48 UTC (UK) »

Hi All,

It's probably me being stupid  Grin , but I have never understood the relationship hierarchy, such as 1st cousin once removed.

Is there a table on the internet which simplifies this, so I can workout relationships in the family tree?

Cheers

HI Pipkim,

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,113441.0.html

Dimps has posted a link that may help you.  It's easier to see it pictorially - it's Julian's excellent site.

Cheers,

The way I figure it once removed is the child of your first cousin.

but here's a chart I'm not sure if it actually simplifies it or not.

Sharon is right:

your cousin is ...... your (first) cousin !
his/her children are a generation "removed", therefore "1st. cousin, once removed"

BUT:  a child of your greataunt/uncle is also a 1st. cousin once removed

Everybody has their own "best" way of seeing things, so here is another "helper"
http://www.shtetlinks.jewishgen.org/krakow/relations.asp

you can either "select a relation" and look at a mini-table or click on "additional utilities", "show all relationships" to get the full chart.

Many thanks pam, Sharon and Bob. I shall study these and hopefully understand them, not to mention, bookmarking them for future reference.

Cheers

You're very kind!

There's a print-friendly version of the chart on my website - can be found by following this URL:

http://juliancbaker.rootschat.net/html/what_kind_of_cousin_are_we_-_p.html

The key thing with this is to work off the common ancestor.

Just one more question, I've found one of my father's cousins (my Grandmothers nephew).
Who is he to me?  Undecided

Should I have picked that up in the chart?

Cheers

Yes the chart can deal with that - find the common ancestor - which I assume will be your grandmother's parents (as the nephew will be their grandchild - a child of a brother or sister to your grandmother).

So the common ancestor between you is your great grandparents.  Then work it out from the chart.  (I won't give the answer here!)

I think some people add "ascending" and "descending" to differentiate between the two.

Cousin Once Removed? / How are we related ?
« Reply #12 on: Saturday 20 May 06 12:43 UTC (UK) »

Wooooooohooooooooooo, I have found a distant relative and I wanted to know how exactly we would be related (... 2nd cousin 6 times removed as an example!!).  The common interest is our GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandparents and we are on the same level of generations.  Including our GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandparents are the 6th generation.

1)  great great great grandparent (common factor) (same)
2)  great great grandparents b. 1836 (same)
3)  great grandparents (different: sister & brother)
4)  grandparents (different)
5)  parents (different)
6)  then us  - distant relatives

Hope the above makes sense to you - if not, let me know.

It would be great to find out exactly.

Thankyou  Grin

You are third cousins. As you are the same generation there are no 'removed's.

Many thanks for that.  As it happens I found the link on the forum giving clear instructions - but how does it work if not on the same generation  - I suppose that when it becomes "removed"?
