Great fun reading all that. Another great relationship chart can be found at http://lewisgenealogy*com/relate.html (replace * with .) All you have to do is join the dots. LOL Actually it goes to 8th Cousins, but its easy to add more.

No. You're children would be your cousin's childrens' 2nd cousins. It's the "once removed" bit you'd need!

2nd cousins have parents who are siblings, and a set of grandparents in common. Janice

Have a look at: www.rhodesfamily.org.uk/people/relationship.html 2nd cousins will share the same greatgrandparents.

It's probably a daft question, however I asked quite a few people and they have no idea at all. So, can someone please explain what relation a 2nd Cousin actually is.
