You'll be pleased to know she's a big country music fan, particularly bluegrass. EDIT: See the earworm thread for Bonnie's current favourite band. The kid's got taste, I'll give her that.

Dom_Wren Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Gotta love a cute babba. This is my cousins son. He's like my brother so I call him my nephew. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, but a very common mistake people make (1st cousin's kids are your 1st cousins once removed). 2nd cousin is up 2 gen down 2 gen (quite a distant relative in many cases).

Up 2 across and down on same level is 2nd cousin.

lapal_fan Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Ahhh.. I get it. That'll learn me believing my parents all these years I knew I had a lot of word removes in my family tree, just not as many as in that graphic! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 10, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2017 The bit I find slightly lazy counter-intuitive is that the younger person is your first cousin once removed and you are also their first cousin once removed despite the older generation. I know why it is, it's just different to most other different-level relationships e.g. uncle to nephew etc. Anyhoo, moving on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2017 Random tidbit. I used to get "removed" and "disowned" mixed up. So I met a friend of a friend once, and my friend introduced them as his first cousin "once removed". I thought it was really awkward, for no reason.
