Who is a half cousin

[4getmenot]

I think my half cousin is my cousins daughter

[monkeyeyes]

I'm not sure there is any such thing...........

[fine,thanks]

or son !

[monkeyeyes]

Cousins share same grandparents
Second cousins share same Great-Grandparents, etc

[4getmenot]

no she's definately my cousins daughter :-)

[4getmenot]

and I dont share same great grandparents as my second cousin. my nan is their great grandparent

[monkeyeyes]

She's your first cousin once removed, 4get

[fine,thanks]

4get, is your cousin a full cousin or a half cousin. i have a quarter cousin !

[monkeyeyes]

The child of your first cousin on a different generational level to you, hence, First Cousin Once Removed.

[4getmenot]

erm well my cousin is my full cousin, her daughter is helf cousin and surely if I had kids then they would be quarter cousin to my half cousin and share same great grandparents. This is making my head spin

[monkeyeyes]

Quarter Cousin ?

Please clarify.

[monkeyeyes]

4get.
Your children and your cousins children are second cousins 'to each other'. The children are First Cousins Once Removed to either</> yourself OR your cousin (depending upon which children we are discussing).

[4getmenot]

so what is my cousins child to me then?

[monkeyeyes]

See 11.25 am posting, 4get, which is where I first mentioned it !

[4getmenot]

ah ha I get it now. still think she's my second cousin though

[monkeyeyes]

By all means...........but you're wrong. :o)

[confused79]

My cousins children are my second cousins well thats what i have always called them, and my mums cousins i say second cousin too is that right? think so anyway, what about my cousins childerns children > what will they be my third cousins then?

[fine,thanks]

so who is your cousins cousins, in relation to you ?

[monkeyeyes]

They are your first cousins twice removed.

Def: you and your cousin are first cousins.
Her children are 'one generation away from you'
Their children are 'two generations away from you'

Therefore, first cousins twice removed.

[monkeyeyes]

4get. They will also be your cousins, UNLESS they are on 'the other side' in which case they will remain your cousins cousins.............
