Relationship ?
« on: Saturday 02 November 19 18:15 GMT (UK) »
Hiya folks, in a kerfuffle again, can't get my head round this
can someone solve this (probably simple) puzzle?
If A is the Grandson of B & D is the Grandson of C
With B & C being Sisters,
What is the relationship between A & D?
T.I.A.

Are they second cousins?

They share great grandparents (b and c's parents) so they are second cousins.

It's a bit misleading, that one, isn't it? Going across, you get younger generations, but going downwards you find older ones - aunt/uncle, great aunt uncle etc. Yet the leftmost column lists child, grandchild etc when logically it should list parent, grandparent to fit in.

What some folk seem unaware of is that "once removed" can mean going a generation either way, and it's not specific. You could have two such cousins two generations apart (I do!) and a pair of cousins twice removed could be four generations apart!

My last surviving older first-cousin-once removed is first-cousin-twice-removed to my younger first-cousins-once removed.

Thanks for your replies,
Mckha489,
I have seen that chart before and thank you for showing it, but, being a thicky, can't get my head round it,  :-[ as my teachers used to say, "Must try harder"

chris,  Thanks mate, that makes my head spin, ???
I'm calling him a Second Cousin whether he likes it or not!

I like this one much better. Everything shown generationally.
