What do I call these people?
« on: Sunday 04 October 09 15:20 UTC (UK) »
Hi there,

Referring to part of my tree:

Dad married Mom & they had a couple of kids. Mom died. A few years later Dad marries again & has many more children. A few years after Dad gets married, son from 1st marriage marries step-moms' youngest sister.
That makes the kids half-siblings & nieces & nephews doesn't it? Do I call them half siblings in my tree. I've been calling them brophews & niesters.

Gosh im not sure but if they are your brothers children regardless of their parentage they are you niece / nephew
i think you find the common ancestor and see how you connect that way.

Oh what fun!!!

So the father is both grandfather and uncle to the son's children.  Grin

One of the sisters would be mother-in-law to the other.  Grin

And the sinssons of the father are uncle and cousin to the children of the son.  Grin Grin

What do you call them? Flipping awkward so and sos is what I'd call them - didn't they ever stop and think for just one moment about how impossible it would be to draw their family tree nicely Angry

My grandfather and his elder brother(older by 13 months) were conceived 4 and 5 years after their alleged father died! They were if fact the product their mother, my great grandmother (shall we say having an affair with her sister husband! )My g grandmother already had 11 children when her husband George died - my sister joking said she would have thought it a blessing when the poor man died, but then to go on and have 2 more with your brother in law, she must have been mad (I am also quite sure it was against the law in those days - maybe someone might be able to put to right on this- my grandfather was born in 1898) her sister was still alive and living with her children a few miles away, none of this was ever spoke of in the family, my elderly father said his father never spoke of his parents. So my grandfathers cousins were his half brothers and sisters.  By the way my g grandmother died at the aged of 51 from drink - poor woman I think that I might have taken to the drink in those circumstances.
Kind regards Susan
