Today I have bitten the proverbial bullet with butterfly wings and am working in my sleeping bag.

I got to hold Lucy for ages yesterday which was nice. I was having difficulty working out what the name is for her relationship to me until I found this chart from a helpful website:

Common Ancestor Child Grandchild G-grandchild G-g-grandchild
Child Sibling Nephew or Niece Grand-nephew or niece G-grand-nephew or niece
Grandchild Nephew or Niece First cousin First cousin, once removed First cousin, twice removed
G-grandchild Grand-nephew or niece First cousin, once removed Second cousin Second cousin, once removed
G-g-grandchild G-grand-nephew or niece First cousin, twice removed Second cousin, once removed Third cousin

therefore:

J & G Vandenberg Janette Me G-grandchild G-g-grandchild
Maria Sibling Nephew or Niece Grand-nephew or niece G-grand-nephew or niece
David Nephew or Niece First cousin First cousin, once removed First cousin, twice removed
Lucy Grand-nephew or niece First cousin, once removed Second cousin Second cousin, once removed
G-g-grandchild G-grand-nephew or niece First cousin, twice removed Second cousin, once removed Third cousin

    And STILL i am the one with the best looking girl around!

    Aaron, Clucky????
    Matt, the genealogy link is your best post ever
    David, the correct line for you is that you now have the TWO best looking girls around

    pfff. Matt, clearly Hans is being facetious.

  6. Matt this is the most helpful thing I have seen in months. Cheers.
