ERM....WHAT IS IT?
      #143579 - 04/07/2008 15:55

As you know mjm and I are going to be Great Aunties.
My YS has just asked me if the new babe will be his second cousin or will the babe be his first cousin once removed. Does anyone know?......I haven't a clue

According to the dictionary second cousins are children of first cousins. Does that clear it up?
