Family Relationships

 

 

 
Understanding family relationships can be a little difficult if you don't get a little bit of instruction.  And just because someone told you how it all worked, that doesn't necessarily make it correct.  I understood "some parts" of who my 2nd and 3rd cousins were when I was growing up, but not "First Cousin Once Removed".  Like many others, I also referred to "Grand Aunts" as "Great Aunts" - and there is a difference even though some will tell you they are the same.
 

The purpose of this particular webpage is to "try" and help you understand these and other difficult family relationships.

* This particular relationship many people call a Great Aunt or Uncle, but should really be a Grand Aunt or Uncle
** These relatives could be called Great Aunts & Uncles OR Great Grand Aunts & Uncles
*** These relatives could be called Great Nieces & Nephews OR Great Grand Nieces & Nephews

                     
 
 
Look at the chart above and see if you can see these relationships (find the numbers on the chart to find the answers):
  1. My Brother's (or Sister's) Children would be my Nieces & Nephews (That's an easy one)
  2. My Brother's (or Sister's) Grandchildren would be my Grand Nieces and Nephews
  3. My Brother's (or Sister's) Great Grandchildren would be my Great  Nieces & Nephews) (also called Great Grand Nieces and Nephews)
  4. My Aunt's & Uncle's Children would be my First Cousins (That's another easy one)
  5. My Aunt's & Uncle's Grandchildren would be my First Cousins Once Removed
      (In other words, My First Cousin's Children would be my First Cousins Once Removed/or from another generation)
  6. My Aunt's & Uncle's Great Grandchildren would be my First Cousins Twice Removed
      (In other words, My First Cousin's Grandchildren would be my First Cousins Twice Removed/or two generations from my Cousin)
  7. So then, who is a Second Cousin? The Children of my Parent's First Cousins would be my Second Cousins.
  8. Who would be a Third Cousin? The Children of my Second Cousins would be my Children's Third Cousins.
 
 
Additional Questions & Answers: (Have you ever thought about these numbers?)
  1. How many Biological Parents does a person have? (Two - a Father and a Mother)
  2. How many Biological Grandparents does a person have? (Four - 2 Grandparents from the Father's side and 2 Grandparents from the Mother's side)
  3. How many Biological Great Grandparents does a person have? (Eight)
  4. How many Biological Great Great Grandparents does a person have? (Sixteen)

       ... and the pattern continues
 
 
 
For the sake of my Loftin "kin", let's go about this another way - and look at the chart below:
