@Never So Good Vegan LLC good question. It really depends on what you want to do. Most people I've worked with who are adopted have both birth and adopted parent - you can change the relationship and specify birth and adopted. On Ancestry go to "edit" at the top right and then "edit relationships." There's a drop down menu on the right where you can select "biological" or "adopted" or others. You can also add another parent there as well. Good luck!
Absolutely brilliant way to explain this. Ive been struggling for years grasping this and you put it in a way I not only grasped,but will easily remember. Thank you
Oh so handy, I’m close to my cousins and their kids, we always called each other second cousins, now I realise we’re first cousins once removed, which sounds way cooler lol thanks heaps, I’m waiting for my DNA results to hopefully find an adopted half sibling so I’m trying to learn everything while I wait :)
at 3:34 what should 1st cousin once removed call you? 1st uncle once added? or grand uncle what should 1st cousin twice removed call you? 1st uncle twice added? or great grand uncle? ....and 1st uncle twice added in law, great grand uncle in law if it has to be great great grand uncle this way, then why not calling 1st cousin 3 times removed a minor minor junior (or little) cousin
@AncestryAimee No worries, I watched CGP Grey's video, 'Your Family tree explained', and I realised that my Mum's nephew's child is my second cousin. Thank you for the quick response, though. God bless 🙏🏾
I hate to say this but I’m not sure what to recommend. Most books cover specific things like Ancestry.com or more advanced genealogy topics. The biggest issue is things are changing so quickly in the industry that I find many published works are obsolete. I would recommend you attend Rootstech virtually (or in person) the first of March. There are many beginning (and beyond) classes. They will have handouts as well that you can print. FamilySearch allows many of the classes to be viewed for quite some time (last years classes are available now). I did a video a while ago that I removed from public viewing because the audio was so bad, but you can view it here (excuse the audio!): th-cam.com/video/nAf4xJvzvc8/w-d-xo.html
I would search for TH-cam videos that fit what you are seeking and also Google the topic. But pay attention to the date of publishing so you are looking at more recent information.
Wait, I’m confused so I just found out my first cousin… My dad’s sister’s son is actually my second cousin once removed. So what does that mean? Does that mean his mom or my dad is not the child of who our grandparents are??
If you want to begin building a family tree visit this video for starters... th-cam.com/video/Oom2GoS3uqo/w-d-xo.html

Fantastic! Thank you
Good Gracious! The G's are a good way to remember.
Glad to hear it!
Good easy explanation. (And it makes sense that you ask me to 'like' the video after I listened!😏
Thanks Joy! 😂
Fantastic and simple visual explanation of some confusing relationships.
How cool! I always wondered about this terminology. Great explanations!
Thank you! Glad it helped you!

Good luck with your DNA test results!
Alot of people think generation has to do with age. Sometimes grandchildren can be 20-30 years apart in age
Good point!
Great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!

Most people just call them cousins or uncles in conversation with them. The details help you in DNA analysis or other things.
Great video!! Very helpful.
Thank you! Glad it helped!
I have cousins, but I 3:57 still don't still don't understand the removed part?
Basically removed is a different generation - like you and your niece or nephew are a different generation.
I am grateful for this video, but it doesn't tell me who my mum's nephew's child is to me.
Your mums nephew is a 1st cousins to you. His child is a first cousin once removed because you’re off a generation.

Just found your channel. Love it. What is the best genersl genealogy book for a beginner that you would recommend?
Thank you.

@@jimstienbarger6388 you’re welcome
I still don’t understand second cousin
Not sure how else to explain it. It just is a more distant cousin.
Wait, I’m confused so I just found out my first cousin… My dad’s sister’s son is actually my second cousin once removed. So what does that mean? Does that mean his mom or my dad is not the child of who our grandparents are??
No. Your dad’s sister’s son is your first cousin. No removed. If he were the the son of that sisters son he would be first cousin once removed.
If you’re taking DNA that spread of possibilities is fairly large. Or there could be a half relation there.
Your Niece and Nephew are known collectively as "Niblings".
Cool name!
Love it!
So 2 cousins arent family?
No they are. Just more distant.
@@AncestryAimee so they still my cousins?
@Carlos-ud3cy yes
You make no sense with the removes
Sorry it didn’t help you
