Ward It is little hard to duplicate, but if my Uncle marries a half Aunt their child appears as a half first cousin rather than a first cousin. To me it should make no difference who he marries their child should be a first cousin.

Two half first cousins share one common grandparent (instead of two). Their children are then half second cousins. They can't be full second cousins, since they only have one common great-grandparent. Robert, such a relationship exists in my family (Scenario Two, below). I don't think it is possible as a blood relationship. Legacy will not find any relationship between these two individuals. Scenario One: If A is a half cousin to B, their relationship is through one of B's parents. But B might have a half cousin, C, through the other parent. A and C are only connected via the marriage of B's parents. A is a 'half cousin to a half cousin' of C. Scenario Two: Both of your, say, mother's parents remarried and had more kids. So your mother has half-siblings on both sides, unrelated to each other (except through the marriage of your grandparents). The children of all those half siblings are half cousins to you. Those one one side (say, your grandfather's) are half cousins to you, who in turn is a half cousin to those on the other side (your grandmother's). Ward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert E.

Legacy has a wonderful relationship chart that I use a lot, but not really all that helpful when it comes to "step" "half" "in-law" or "married-in." Does anyone have a good cheat sheet defining these relationships clearly? One cousin gave me a relation of "You are a half cousin to half cousin of James." huh? There isn't such a relationship, is there? Thanks.
