Maybe she just wanted to know more about you. Are you a vampire? Are your ancestors from Hungary? Garlic can say a lot...

There seems to be a bit of confusion about different degrees of cousins and how many times removed. Let's say that Mary and Sarah are first cousins, and their common grandparents are John and Elizabeth. Sarah has a child (let's call her Sarah II.) Mary and Sarah II are first cousins once removed. John and Elizabeth are Mary's grandparents and Sarah II's great-grandparents. Mary has a daughter, Mary II. Sara II and Mary II are second cousins. John and Elizabeth are great-grandparents to both of them. Sarah II has a daughter, Sarah III. Mary II and Sarah III are second cousins once removed. John and Elizabeth are Mary's II's great-grandparents, and Sarah III's great-great-grandparents. Mary II has daughter, Mary III. Sarah III and Mary III are third can. John and Elizabeth are great-great-grandparents to both of them.

Thanks for that explanation! Let me just add that there is only a risk with birth defects for first cousins (not to mention awkwardness and possible familial upbringing) anything from second cousins and farther removed is fine, legally and biologically speaking.

All members of the human species are cousins. Any person you date will be your cousin.

That's an awkward thing to find out on a first date, to be sure, but third cousins aren't close. Seating at the wedding might be a little complicated, as there will be lots of guests who could sit on either side...

Third cousins? What does it means exactly? It's ok, or not?

The closet common ancestors of third cousins are one set of great-great-grandparents. That is four generations. Between 0 and 2% of DNA is shared. There is nothing immoral or illegal about third cousins marrying. Any children who come from it will not be inbred.

My father and my maternal granddad are first cousins making my paternal grandparents my mom’s uncle and aunt... It wasn’t a problem in the 60s. Third cousins are barely related.

I don't think there's a genetic problem with cousins that far apart. Not positive, but it's first cousins that are the issue as far as I know.

Third cousins only share between 0 and 2% of dna. There is no genetical problem. Even first cousins only share about 13% DNA. That is a little too close, in my opinion (although, nobody has to live their lives according to my opinion but me!)

Funny episode of 30 Rock where Tina meets handsome guy and everything is going great until she notices picture of her aunt. Then she says on the count of three, say which level of cousin would not be creepy. He answers 4th, she says never acceptable ever.

So? Third cousins is pretty far removed! The risk of having genetically problematic children therefore is very, very slim. And THAT is the only reason one should not have children with one's sibling or first cousin. I mean, did you have basic biology classes at school?

As far as I know it's illegal in a lot of countries to marry a first cousin, but It's legal in all 50 states of the U.S. to marry a second cousin or further.

Kissing cousins is what they are called if you are so inclined...;) One of the persons might have had to make an appearance at the BBQ and then go on from there. Not unusual...finding out you are related...not so much!
