Answer 3

another way to look at it..

1st cousins share grandparents

2nd cousins share gr grandparents

3rd cousins share gr gr grandparents

4th cousins share  3x gr grandparents (shorthand comes in)

5th cousins share gr gr gr gr grandparents.

(all above are the same generation number removed from common ancestor(s)

distant for most people, common thinking for genealogy nuts

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

ALL cousins are blood related, but it gets diluted.

Siblings share all of their DNA

First cousins share 1/2

Second cousins share 1/4

3rd - 1/8

4th - 1/16

5th - 1/32

etc. Just keep dividing by 2.

1/32nd is 3.125%
