Cousins - help
« on: Thursday 20 June 24 18:24 BST (UK) »
Hi - I'm confused !!! with how to do the once removed thing... I though I had it sussed...

Help please.......as a note I know that there is some other mixing within other bits of the family because if it goes through gedmatch they are connected at the grandparent generation but also at around the 7th generation but I wouldn't have thought this was the case with Jilly as their other parent is from out of the area.  Jilly has not been uploaded to gedmatch yet.

OK - here we go

We have Bill / Jill and Will full siblings

Bill had Billy

Jill had Jilly (DNA to Billy is 825) who had Jack (not tested) who had Jackie (who's DNA to Billy is 300)

Will had Willy (not tested) who had Winnie (not tested) who had Nina.  (Nina's DNA to Billy is 190)

I know Billy / Jilly and Willy are first cousins

So I would say that Jack and Winnie are first cousins once removed to Billy

and Jackie and Nina are first cousins twice removed ??

Then

We have Bill / Jill and Will the siblings had a first cousin called Lill with whom they shared grandma and grandad.

Lill had Lilly (not tested) who had Milly (DNA to Billy is 38)

What is Lilly to Billy and what is Billy to Milly .......

All these people had common ancestors

Thank you
Nesta

There are lots of online charts for this

Here is one

Bill, Jill and Will are siblings
Billy, Jilly and Willy are first cousins
Jack and Winnie, as children of the first cousins, are cousins-once-removed to Billy. If Billy had a child, his child would be second cousins with Jack and Winnie.
Jackie and Nina are third cousins to each other and 1st cousins-twice-removed to Billy.

Lill and Bill are first cousins.
Lilly, as a child of the first cousin, is cousin-once-removed to Billy.
Milly, as a grandchild of the first cousin, is cousin-twice-removed to Billy.

Thanks for the link to the charts .. I’d tried but got even more confused. Ayashi … great thank you . So even though Jackie and Nina are related the same to Billy , Jackie must have inherited more of the same DNA as Billy than Nina had .   
Thank you very much .   
Now I need to persuade some of them to upload to gedmatch ! 🥹
