A cousin of some sort....

[andrewalston]

I decided to tidy up a few relatives in the village where two of my main lines hail from.

Of course, everybody is related to everybody else, but I just checked how one of the "tidied" people is related to me. The software I use tells me:
   3rd cousin 3 times removed.
   4th cousin 2 times removed.
   5th cousin 4 times removed.
   6th cousin 3 times removed.

Anybody beat four distinct relationships? I'm sure it's possible!

Probably my daughter to some of her cousins, but I'm still trying to unravel all the cousin marriages.

I have an example in my tree of two cousins marrying, both of whose parents were also cousins!  They had 3 children, who all died in adolescence/early adulthood, but as they aren't in my direct line I didn't get the death certs.  I did wonder if there might be a genetic element in their deaths.

I don't think I can beat that!

My great-grandfather (who had illegitimate offspring) and one of his brothers married two sisters; both had children.  Another brother married a woman who died young, then he married her sister: with children from both marriages.  My cousins and I are constructing a tree and wondering how many different degrees of relationship we can find.

A small extract from my family-tree compilation:
" Henry Fisher Young married Mary Ann Prior in 1857, who is of interest because her parents had different mothers but the same father - probably the reason for their first child being ‘feebleminded’. "

I wonder about that earlier wedding ceremony - the father giving away his daughter to his own son ....
