The relationship is determined by the single common ancestor so the brothers don't count . It is their father that does, so they have a common great great great grandfather that's a fourth cousin ie 4 g's including the one in grandfather. Cousins share the same grandparent and are first cousins. 1+3 = 4 !!!!! Bob

Surely, Joan if you share the same parents you are brother/sister and sister/brother?? not cousins , this is where I get confused! KIM

Parents - 1st cousins grandparents - 2nd cousins great granparents - 3rd cousins great - great grandparents - 4th cousins. So we are 4th cousins Sarah, still related though!

4th Cousins is right. we count up the gg's but often forget to count in our parents which makes an extra generation Pat

Robert, Carole and Sarah Sorry! I stand corrected. Missed a Great out. 4th cousins it is! Jeanette

I believe you are 4th cousins. Your GG grandfather & GG uncle were brothers; your Great grandparents were 1st cousins, your grandparents were 2nd cousins, your parents were 3rd cousins and you are 4th cousins. I think that's right....well hope it is and I stand to be corrected. Best wishes, Carole

Hi Robert I'm totally confused now!!! Sarah.

BobClayton

BobClayton Report 6 Mar 2004 14:15

Is that right? Since they were brothers then the common ancestor is great great great grandfather. So its common parents are siblings, grandparents first cousins, ggrandparents second cousins, gggrandparents third cousins, ggggrandparents fourth cousins. You count the G's Bob

Yes, I believe 3rd cousins. I found the same thing on GC a lady whose gg Grandmother was sister to my gg Grandmother ( or rather she found me). Barbara
