I have no earthly clue who they are or what their names are. - ty97 Sep 20, 13:07 12
- the children of your father's first cousins would be your second cousins. -- nm - znufrii Sep 20, 13:10 7
  - actually, they are his first cousins, once removed. -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:11 6
    - first cousins share a grandparent.. second cousins share a great grandparent. you find the common grandparent then for each generation you are 'off' - Andie Sep 20, 13:12 2
      - ty doesn't share a grandparent with these folks ... the grandmother came to the US. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:13 1
        
        *sigh* you go back to the common grandparent (or great, or great great) - it doesn't matter where you fall on the line. - Andie Sep 20, 13:28
    - sorry, I agree with znu. The father's cousins are ty's first cousins once removed. The children are his second cousins. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:11 2
      - oh, sorry, i actually agree, i thought i read 'the child of your first cousin is your second cousin.' -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:13 1
        
        this stuff is always a mess. :) -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:13
- That's wonderful! -- nm - con_carne no comprende English Sep 20, 13:08
- I'm impressed they were contacted. we have no IDEA who my living cousins are in Ireland. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:07 2
  - My grandmother and her US sister would were still alive when contact when made by my Aunt. Presumably, my grandmother/her sister were still in - ty97 Sep 20, 13:10 1
    - my people came over after the famine, so late 19th century. Too far back. No records. You are very lucky indeed. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:12
