So, if Tim is my dad's cousin, who is he to me? My first cousin? I could google it, but I'm busy blogging. I see the resemblance in their nose and cheekbone area.
The Peculiar Packaging of Grace
2 years ago
An Alaskan girl married to a funny boy from Charlotte. We met on an improv drama team and during a part of a skit where he's supposed to propose to another girl on our team he mistakenly said my name instead...twice. It's been love ever since. Now, we've been blessed with our little Greta girl and our sweet boy Will and love being their parents. We now have someone else to entertain besides ourselves. The Lord is good.

check out the geni website.....it will tell you exactly who he is to you....i could tell, but will let you do the research....love, aunt ramona, your dad's sister, tim's cousin
ps while at the website you can fill out your missing info. it does take time, so go prepared
thanks, for the pics...i didn't realize they hadn't seen each other in so lon...wait a minute i hate to ruin another cousin story for your dad.....but, he did see him in '67 i believe????
Kathleen- That's what I meant! 2nd cousin is what I thought...:) Thanks for the clarification and calling it like you see it.
Signed, Dork
Ramona- Tough! That's the teacher in you...all right all right. You are right though about Geni. It takes forever. I've already tried, but got impatient...And you're probably right about '67 too. I tend to leave out key details sometimes.
I think he's actually your first cousin-once-removed. His kids would be your 2nd cousins.
Your little ones are getting so big! How is Will doing? They are so precious. M watched the Greta video with me and started copying everything G did-- SO cute.
Looks like everyone had a great time. I'm glad that Dad and Tim got reaquainted and that Dad got to meet his wife Allison. Seems funny that even 42 years went by if it was '67. We'll have to exchange addresses and keep in touch and you'll have someone to visit in Georgia Natalie who is family. Love, Mom PS Greta is so hilarious!!
I think the Bennetts are right. He would be your 1st cousin, once removed. Tims' kids would be your second cousins....sorry Kathleen.:)
Yep. They're all right - first cousin once removed. I like to think of it as being on the "same level"of the family tree. It's hard to explain without hand motions.
I don't even know any of you so I probably shouldn't correct you but I'm pretty sure he would be your second cousin. First cousins-once removed are your first cousins' kids! I'm gonna have to go look this up now cuz it's gonna bother me! Haha. :o)
Ok, I looked it up and evidently I've been wrong about this for quite some time (or I just got it confused now)....anyways, everyone is right, he would be your first cousin, once removed. :oP
I had no idea when I made that crack about how we would be related that people would do the research. I even did it and now have the matrix all the way to the eighth cousin hanging on my fridge. You and my daughters are 2nd cousins, we are once removed. Now the question begging to be asked is what does "once removed" mean? We had a ball with you and your family. I still can't believe your dad actually slid down that old laundry shoot some 40+ years ago. What a guy. Stop by when you are in town. We'd love to have you.
