So sad. I’m sorry.
Two more greats.
That's why I plays the blues so good on my guitar.
Where's my reparations!
Where's my reparations!
This is actually a song that I am writing.
Sorry about your sad revelation.
No, you are correct. Your parents’ first cousins are your first cousins once removed. Your grandparents’ 1st cousins are your first cousins twice removed. Your great-grandparents’ 1st cousins are your 1st cousins thrice removed.
Too bad one of the 3 times removed - wasn’t his neck from the noose.
What Is a Second Cousin?
The number associated with your cousin has to do with how many generations away your common ancestor is. For example:
Sometimes you and your cousin may share a common ancestor, but you each call this ancestor something different. For example, the common ancestor may be your great-grandparent, but your cousin’s great-great grandparent.
This is where the phrase “once removed” comes in handy.
What Does it Mean to be a Cousin “Once Removed”?
To be a “once removed” from a cousin means you are separated by 1 or more generations.
If you look at the cousin chart above (Post #14), you’ll see that each row is color-coded by generation. You, your siblings, and your first, second, and third cousins are all of the same generation.
You may have noticed that the boxes labeled “cousin once removed” are either from one generation above or below you. You are “once removed” if you are separated by 1 generation and “twice removed” if you are separated by 2 generations, and so on.
Quick Tip: Your parent’s first, second, and third cousins are also your first, second, and third cousins—but once removed. This is because your parents and their generation are 1 above yours. Likewise, your grandparents’ first, second, and third cousins are also your first, second, and third cousins, this time twice removed. This pattern continues throughout each generation. So, for example, a first cousin once removed is either the child of your first cousin or the parent of your second cousin.
Don’t have to give them up, but don’t want to wear them. (Actually I DO want to give up many of those devices, because as they try to save us DURING an accident, those very devices block views and make it more likely we’ll GET INTO the accident.)
There are costs and benefits. The better question is, do YOU want to give up THE CAR?
No man, hide and seek is not cool. Too many stories of kids getting themselves jammed up.
Never happened to me, or any of us or later gens.
And we cousins used to play LOTS of night-time outdoors tag/HS. Even around the pool!
