Romalee 57 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 You need to give more information for us to give you an answer. Like who is your common ancestor, mother/father siblings, common grandparent, common great grandparent. Without this information names don't tell us anything.

Guest Report post Posted April 19, 2014 On my mother side there is no problem then i don`t know the whole truth of my dads story because my dad mother says that she have 2 husband. one is dead (first husband) and the other is alive then they are not marriage (breakup) so my dads mother use the first husband last name. and now my last name is her middle name. on my girlfriend side i don`t know the truth. Usually i call my girlfriends mom as my aunt. so are we 1 2 3? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyC 217 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 you may not even be blood related at all. like romalee said, we need to know who the common ancestor was. what that means is, who is related to both of you. is your grandmother his grandmother also? or is your mother his aunt? who has what last name or middle name doesn't mean anything at all. it just means that someone in the family kept a last name from a first marriage and also took on the last name of a second marriage. THAT doesn't make anybody related. they are just names. please tell us who on his parent's side of the family is related to who on your parents side of the family.

LadyC 217 Report post Posted April 19, 2014 if her grandparent and your great grandparent are sisters, then you would be second cousins first removed. completely legal and acceptable no matter where you are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
