What is a first cousin....


There were many discussions over the years 
Especially at Thanksgiving dinner,
about extended families and who was who. 
Especially Cousins. Can you imagine such a mundane
subject becoming intense! It can!
Who was a cousin, what was a cousin once removed? 
Who was a first cousin, who was a second cousin..
Oh good grief, now I am getting confused all over again! 
There were many opinions.  


I'll try to sort this out a bit,
First cousins, the children of siblings to each other.
Second cousin, the children of first cousins to each other. 
Cousin once removed. Once removed refers to generations,
So your once removed cousin is the child of your first cousin. 

Now The Old Farmer's Daughter is going on vacation! 
HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING FEAST
Let's celebrate our farmers who make this possible.
