Question:Is is second cousin?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Is is second cousin?
Grandmother and her sister are sisters
Your grandmother's sister's daughter and your parent are 1st cousins (they are in the same generation)
Your grandmother's sister's daughter and you are 1st cousins once removed. (once removed because are off from each other by one generation)
Your grandmother's sister's daughter's daughter and you would be 2nd cousins. (Same generation again)
yeahh
Depends, are there any cirlces in your family tree?

If so it might just be your father.
I mean she is your 2nd cousin.
It is your second cousin. You parent would be their first cousin so they would be your second.
She is your mom's first cousin. Could be your second cousin, your'e right.
your grandma's sister is your mother's (or father's) aunt. her daughter is you mother's (or father's) first-degree cousin. she is your aunt as well.
2nd cousin
She would be your cousin. But no! Not second cousins.
she is your mom's cousin but i wouldnt say second cousin....second cousin is usually your cousin's cousin
First cousin.

Cousins share Grandparents

Second Cousins share great Grandparents
Your cousin once removed.

Your mother and aunt are both cousins (they shared grandparents). You are one generation away from her.

Example:
Your Great-Grandparents (Generation 1)
Your Grandparents (Generation 2)
Your Mom or Dad/Your mom or dad's cousin (Generation 3)
You (Generation 4)

Since you're Generation 4 and the cousin is Generation 3, you're going back into the generations. You are cousins once removed because you are seperated by one generation.
Yes she is your second cousin and her kids would be your 3rd cousins.
I usually lay these Q out one generation at a time. Call your grandmother Priscilla and her sister Elizabeth:

Priscilla & Elizabeth = Siblings (Sisters)
Peter & Ella Mae = 1st cousins
Purple Pride & Edward = 2nd cousins
Petunia & Edward Jr. = 3rd cousins

Ella Mae, the grandmother's sister's daughter, is your father (Peter's) first cousin, so she is your 1st C once removed. EM is one generation removed from you - one level up. When she has a child (Edward), he will be your second cousin. When you and Edward have children, those children will be 3rd cousins.

Please don't saddle any daughter of yours with "Petunia" as a name. Note also the sex of the people involved doesn't matter. It is early here and I was blocking on names that started with "P" and "E".

Elton and Perigrine, of course, but only in the UK.
