I started working at a nursery recently and one of the other nursery nurses had the same unusual surname as me. We got talking about what a coincidence it was as it is such a rare name - and eventually we discovered we are related as my grandfather is her grandfather's brother! But, I am confused.... HOW are we related? Are we cousins once/twice/something removed? What are our fathers to one another? Is there a site where it tells you how to work this stuff out?

Very cool that she's related! You would be second cousins, and your fathers would be cousins.
It's all explained in the site below. =)

You are second cousins. See the link below to a chart I've found useful when trying to work degrees of cousinship.

You would be her second cousin.
Two brothers. Both get married and have a family. Brothers become uncles to other brothers children. These children then grow up get married have family. This would be where you come in so her grandad is your second uncle. He is not your dads brother, he is your grandads brother so this puts him in the next generation up from uncle so is known as second uncle.
Hope you understand this gobbly di ****!!!

You are cousins once removed. Or 2nd cousins both mean the same thing! As you both have the same name then your fathers are (1st)cousins.

If your grandfathers are brothers, Then that would make your fathers counsins and you second cousins I believe.

1st generation
GF=GF
your grand-father -brother-her grand father
2nd generation
1st cousin=1st cousin.
grand father's children are 1st cousins. therefore her parent is 1st cousin to your parent.
3rd generation
2nd cousin=2nd cousin. the children of the 1st cousins are 2nd cousins. Therefore your friend is your second cousin!
Does it make sense to you?

Hon, the purely thanks to do it really is call him tell him that you adore him and bypass over him and examine were given some very undesirable information to inform him. Then tell him what occurred and tell him you want him to comprehend how a lot granddad loved him. Then watch for his reaction you've gotten to console him over the phone. keep in contact with him. possibly even see if he can make it to theservice So sorry on your loss and your household too attempt to be solid and do what desires to be finished. proper desires

I believe you might be "second cousins" at least that is the way I understand it.
