What relationship is my sister to my grandchildren?
Your grandchild and your sibling’s grandchild are second cousins, because they share the same great grandparents – which are your parents.
What is my sister to my sons children?
While a mom, dad, sister, and brother are members of an immediate family, a nephew is part of your extended family because he’s the son of a sibling. When brothers or sisters have male children, you become an aunt or an uncle to a nephew. If your nephew has a sister, she is your niece.
What is the relationship between great grandchildren?
Like removed, the terms great and grand indicate the separation of generations. While “removed” is used for cousins, “grand” and “great” are used both for grandparent/grandchild relationships and for aunt and uncle/niece and nephew relationships.
Why are my sister and my Sister’s grandchildren second cousins?
Second cousins. Family relationship tiers work like this: The relationship is counted from the generation of the person closest to the common ancestor. So for example, the grandchildren of both you and your sister (siblings) are second cousins because they are on the same generational tier.
Your grandchild and your sibling’s grandchild are second cousins, because they share the same great grandparents – which are your parents. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd cousins are determined by grandparents. Then we just add a generation gap on each and every one of them.
Your sisters children are your daughters first cousins, the children of those first cousins are first cousins once removed. If your daughter has children they will be second cousins to your sisters grandchildren.
How are you related to your sibling’s children?
Note: If you’re in the sibling position on the chart, then your sibling’s descendents are nieces and nephews or great nieces and nephews. They are never your cousins. you are their uncle or aunt. those kids are first cousins (“1Co”) to your children. you are their grand uncle or grand aunt.
