Question

I went to school with a girl whose great grandfather was my great grandfather's cousin. What does that make us

Answer 1

If the great grandfathers were 1st cousins , you would be 4th cousins removed.

Answer 2

Fourth cousins

Answer 3

Your great-grandfathers were 1st cousins.

Your grandfathers (or grandmothers) were 2nd cousins.

Your fathers (or mothers) were 3rd cousins.

You and the girl are 4th cousins.

You and she are the same generation. "Removes" would only enter into it if you were of different generations. For instance, her father (or mother) is your third cousin, once removed.

Answer 4

cousins

Answer 5

Depends on what kind of cousin...1st cousin 2nd cousin...either way you're related.  By law or blood.

Answer 6

cousins three times removed

Answer 7

Barbara gave it to you correct.  Your great grandfathers were first cousins. Therefore, your grandfathers were second cousins,  Your parents are third cousins and you are fourth cousins.  You are in the same generation coming down from a common ancestor who was a great great grandfather.

Therefore, there are no removes.
