    And yet somehow I couldn't possibly care less. Imagine that.

    Football bores me to death. Far more so than chess.

    So my cousin gave birth to her second daughter recently, it made me wonder what's my relationship to them, my cousin's daughters I mean. I suppose that makes them my cousins too. :hmm: Is there even a word for such a relationship ?

    If your cousin who gave birth is a first cousin (i.e., daughter of a sibling of one of your parents), then her offspring is your first cousin, once removed.

    But technically she's not even that. She, my cousin, is the daughter of my mother's cousin.

    Ah, so your mother's first cousin's daughter is the person giving birth. That makes her your second cousin and her kid is your second cousin once removed.

    Anything else?

    She's your little cousin. :p

    While a lot of languages have terms for these things, they don't really serve much of a purpose unless you're making a family tree.

    Keneth - tell that to my Wills and Trusts professor (well, he's actually dead now, so tell it to a random Wills and Trusts professor). Some people find that stuff important.

    If you remove them then why would you consider them family?

    Dead great-aunt Ginny is still family, she's just dead. And some of her stuff went to you in her will (hence the Wills and Trusts reference).

    Don't be so narrow minded.

    I never got a penny from my family. I don't blame them though, they didn't owe me anything and life's taught me not to expect anything that I didn't earn with my own sweat and blood.

    So you can keep your wills and your trusts. :p
