  • Step cousin(?) relationship

    From Sn!pe@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 11 02:06:11 2022
    Apologies if this is off topic for this group.

    I have recently gained a grandson by my first marriage.
    My second wife has a grandson by her first marriage.
    Technically, what relationship are the grandchildren to
    each other?

    If a man and his wife have grandchildren by 2 of their children, the grandchildren of each family are 1st cousins of each other. There is no
    blood relationship between your grandchildren and those of your second
    wife so you could say they are step-1st cousins, but I don't know if
    that is a commonly (or legally) used term.

    I would say stepcousin.

    My wife had one, and I call her my stepcousin-in-law.

    That seems logical, thank you, Jenny.

    Again, very logical. Thank you, Steve.

    Gets more complicated when the two of them marry!
