Title: How are we related?
Post by: Pfig on Thursday 22 February 24 14:27 GMT (UK)

Hi, I have recently made contact with someone who shares the same Grandmother as me.  My Grandmother had my Mother when she was a single woman and we have no idea who the father was.  My Mother was put into care and had no contact with her Mother after this.

Four years after my Mother was born, my Grandmother married and had 2 boys.  These boys would be my Mother's half brothers (although she wasn't brought up with them and knew nothing about them).  I've recently been in contact with the child of one of these half brothers and am trying to work out if that makes us half cousins (if there is such a thing).

Thanks very much.

Thanks very much for confirming.  I thought it sounded right but wanted to make sure :D
