Worth saying - you become 2nd cousins etc as you move down the line!

So if you share grandparents you are 1st couisns, great grandparents 2nd cousins etc etc.

Any generation shift is similarly expressed. So your 3rd cousin's children and parents are both your 3rd cousins once removed.

You have to look from the perspective of each individual - at the people who share the same relationship with Charles.

In the case of the older David these are his 1st cousins, as for them Charles is also grandfather. You then express each shift in generation as 1st cousin once, twice removed etc.

So his 1st cousins' children are his 1st cousins once removed. Their grandchildren are his 1st cousins twice removed. This is what the younger David is to him.

For the younger David, the people who are also Charles' gg grandchildren are David' 3rd cousins. So the older David is his 3rd cousin twice removed.

I have a problem here if anyone fancies having a go at it..just for a laugh.

The research has been done/ names dates etc are irrelevant..all you're looking for is the precise relationship between two people of the same name.lets say david Jones..

David 1 born 1821..and David 2 born 1861

David 1 is the straight Grandson of Charles b 1759.....by his first wife

David 2 is the Great Great Grandson of Charles born 1759..by his second wife......

The Genealogy is correct and accurate..anyone fancy working out the relationship between David 1 and 2??????????
