Question: Wondering how we are related!?
If someone's great-grandparent and my grandparent were siblings (brothers), then how am I related to this person!?

Similarly, what is my relation to my cousin's children!? [I always get confused between cousins removed and 2nd cousins, etc!.]

Thanks for your help!Www@QuestionHome@Com
