Answer 1

Try these:

These are a few good sites, each offers a 10 generation calculator:
www.iarelative.com/charts --a 10-generation chart that can printed out into a single, 8 1/2 by 11 sheet (click on the RED link) with instructions how to use it.

www.genealogy.about.com--has all kinds of links to genealogy in left column (in red), plus a cousin calculator in the center column.

www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc : has a downloadable cousin calculator, but you will need JAVASCRIPT to run the program. Or, at www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc/#BORING_TA... is a 10-generation chart that can be printed off.

I have noticed in Yahoo! genealogy, every one has a different notion about these things. The way I was taught, a child of your grandmother (not your parent) would be your fist cousin. For each generation going back (great grandmother, great-great grandmother) the number would increase: i.e., grandmother - first cousin; great-grandmother - second cousin; great-great grandmother - third cousin, and so on.

Answer 2

Sometimes it is easiest to just line it out. Call your great grandmother Alice and her brother Andrew, their children Barbara and Bruce, and so on:

Alice & Andrew = Siblings
Barbara & Bruce = 1st cousins
Carla & Charles = 2nd cousins
Dimkasmir & Daniel = 3rd cousins

There are two ways to do it; children with a common "n" great grandparents are "n+2" cousins
(1st great GP = 3rd cousins,
2nd great GP = 4th cousins
and so on

or, children of Nth cousins are N+1 cousins. Children of 2nd cousins are 3rd cousins, etc.

Answer 3

3rd Cousins.

Your grandparents would have been 1st cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's children.

Your parents would have been 2nd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's grandchildren.

You are 3rd cousins to your great-grandmother's brother's great-grandchildren.
