They were second cousins. Remember when Mary was pregnant and she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth (who was pregnant also), and the baby in her womb (Elizabeth's) "lept for joy"? Then Elizabeth said "Hail Mary, for you are full of Grace. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb"(the first part of the "Hail Mary"). Elizabeth was Mary's cousin.
