yes as your are in the family tree , but if you go far enough back in the family tree we are all related , as the bible tries to make us belief, yes but also the information you have given is not very clear , as a brother and sister has the same great grand father and two distant cousins can be as well. so the answer that i could give you could be right or wrong , as if your are brother and sister it is wrong , but if you are distant cousins it should be OK

You would have to specify how the great grandfather is related to you. Is the the father of a blood grandparent or grandparent by marriage.
If by marriage, then you are technically OK. Just in a weird predicament.

If He's both your grandfather by marriage then your fine, but if it's by blood, your pushing it, just be careful, closely related cousins can have a baby with serious mental and fiscal problems.

Though it's frowned on here in the US, cousin marriage is very common in other parts of the world as a means of preserving clan or tribal allegiance. Given that you are second cousins, chances are your baby will be just fine. You should discuss it with your physician, though. He or she can refer you to a genetic couselor who will be able to give you much better information on any potential risks than you will get on Yahoo Answers.

Before you have a baby consult a DR. your gene pool might be distant enough to have a baby with out defects to the baby. Dont listen to all the jerks out there talking trash President Franklin Roosevelt and his wife were distant relatives and he was president, they had children and they did turn out fine. Go see a DR. if your really concerned. Good luck!

the baby may have some deform problems, and some heath problems don,t have a baby together it,s not right and it,s not a good thing for the baby. you should try adoption in stead or at less sponsor a world vision child talk to your doctor but the choice is your.
