Are you having trouble with your cousins' relationships?  What does it all mean?!  

Here is a link that will help:  https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/cousin-chart/?cid=lihp-ftc-8051

My mother was an only child.  If she had had brothers or sisters or both, those would be my aunts and/or uncles, right?  If those (non-existing) brothers and sisters had had children, those children would be my cousins, right?  They would be my first cousins?  Her siblings' children would be her niece's and nephews and they would all be my first cousins.  How do I determine who is a second, third, or whatever cousin?  What is a cousin once removed?  Bring a chart to class on Friday and let's identify our relatives! 

My mother had an uncle named Trammel.  Trammel would be my great uncle?  Yes or No?  The answer is "no".  Relationships are a weird thing to learn about for some of us!  See this article:  https://www.familytreemagazine.com/names/aunts-and-uncles-grand-not-great/
