it's all relativei dissapoinbted my mother on saturday when i was saying ab out a wedding of a work colleague i was at on friday. the reason i dissapointed her was that the person my work colleague was married to was "related" to me but how the hell is a person suppose to know every single relative of their's. this is absurd
so my question is how many of you could identify your "step second cousin once removed" (no kidding this was how we are related and i was suppose to be know this?) ?
sheesh i had only actually met the guy once at the wedding of another work colleague

I was brought up in North Wales, and we often went out on Sundays in the car around the Lleyn Peninsula. Every other person we passed, my Dad would say 'He/She's my cousin.' Not real cousins of course but various times removed. There are still people there that I know I'm related to, but I've no idea how. I've looked at trying to create the family tree once or twice, but it's complicated, because a lot of the relatives are women, and some, I only know their first names, and others, only their married surnames. Also, not all were born in wedlock, and all the surnames were very common in the area.

careful though lads and lasses since if you fall in love with your second cousin that might spell a bit of trouble unless you're royal family doent you know but i agree nolte youd need a university degree in relatives to make sense of some of these extensive families shite cant even remember the name of me own children without going through the full list some times

I know what you mean my mothers side are all welsh hailing from Llanelli in the south and its frightening how every one was related. In fact my granmother reliably informed me that my second cousin was Jonathon Davies, Wales & Great Britain (Both codes) rugby legend and boyhood hero when he played league for my hometown Warrington. 
Of course hes no idea who I am and I've only met him once, when he was signing autographs at a preseason game. I thought best not to bring it up
