Ralph Bellamy : he was my third cousin…

he was my third cousin…

Ralph Bellamy and my grandmother Florience Britchard were first cousins. My mother was second his second. Thats makes me his third.

Re: he was my third cousin…

Wrong. Your mother would be his first cousin once removed. You would be his first cousin twice removed. You have to be the same generation to be first, second, third cousins, etc.

Re: he was my third cousin…

My mother's aunt's fourteenth cousin's nephew was a box boy where Ralph Bellamy used to get his groceries, and yet Mr. Bellamy did not include me in his will. Are there any relatives out there who might be interested in a family reunion?

Re: he was my third cousin…

I've always had a hard time figuring out the difference between "first, second, third, etc. cousins" and cousins that are "once, twice, etc. removed." Makes my head hurt trying to sort it out.
