I was watching my sister's kids one night and the only things on after they went to bed was a show on private security bunkers and a show on surviving a zombie uprising.

The bunker show was full of OSHA, like a hand rail hooked up to propane to barbecue intruders and a pyramid set on fire with a guy inside to prove it could withstand napalm or something.

The zombie show talked about proper wound care and finding potable water.

I think I remember the "guy inside a burning bunker pyramid" show. Guy made his money selling and building bunkers and was all "Yeah, by my firesafe pyramid so your family can cram into it and die of oxygen deprivation survive the fire when the Urban Hordes find your bunker and torch it." Dude couldn't even stay in there the entire time before the fire burned out on its own and had them extinguish it.

And yeah, one of their customers was a lady going "I had a dream of everything on fire, and that totally means civilization is going to collapse and I need to protect my family from all those city people burninating across the country side."

I know about half brothers, but I thought that once you're related to someone their relatives fall under the regular terms you'd use for your own. I don't have cousins, half anythings, uncles aunts or what have you, my family consists of 2 people so I never really got familiar with terms used for larger families. I don't even know what the whole "cousin X removed" poo poo means.

It depends on the situation and personal preference, but realistically if I've never met someone, never will, and nobody ever mentions them, they're not family.

X removed is the number of generations separating you. A first cousin once removed would be the child of a great aunt/uncle. They're a cousin, but equivalent to your parents' generation.

With large families with childrens' ages spanning 20 years or more, it doesn't take long for relatives the same age to be a couple generations apart. I knew a couple kids in school who were older than their uncles, for example.

The degree of “removal” is generations.

Your parent’s first cousin is your first cousin once removed. If they have a kid, that kid is a second cousin to you.

Your grandparent’s first cousins are your first cousins twice removed. If they have a kid, that’s your second cousin once removed.



It’s not complicated to remember; it just isn’t relevant to most people.

A cousin that would otherwise be an Xth cousin (1st, 2nd, 3rd), but is not of the same generation as you and is Y generations away, is an Xth cousin Yth removed.

Example 1: My mother's 1st cousin is my 1st cousin, once removed.

Example 2: My 1st cousin's child is also my 1st cousin, once removed.

Example 3: My father's 2nd cousin's father is my 2nd cousin, twice removed.

On that note, Xth cousins are people the X number of generations away from a set of common parents.

Example 4: My aunt and my father are 0 generations away from a set of common parents. They are sister and brother.

Example 5: My aunt's children and I are 1 generation away from a set of common parents (that is, my father and my aunt shared parents, 1 generation away). We are 1st cousins.

Example 6: My father's 1st cousins' children and I are 2 generations away from a set of common parents (specifically, my grandparents and their grandparents shared parents, 2 generations away). We are 2nd cousins.

...In practice, I call these people Aunt X and Uncle Y if they are of an earlier generation than me and by their first name if not.

Prior to the industrial revolution, most people would grow up, get married, have children, and die within a 20 mile radius of where you were born. First cousins would be around the same age, were conveniently located, and would help keep property in the extended family. It was a fairly common practice the whole world over.

Also it turns out that children born from a first cousin pairing aren't any more likely to have genetic problems than those born from totally unrelated couples, as long as those cousins' parents weren't also cousins or more closely related.

I stumbled on a stack overflow post a while back from a guy who had made some small time family tree plotting software where he'd represented things internally as a directed acyclic graph. That's nerd for "flow chart where nothing moves backwards and there are no loops."

Anyway, a customer filed a support ticket saying the software crashed every time he tried to add the daughter he'd had with his other daughter. The first answer, which was accepted by the OP as the proper solution, was "fire your customer."
