Hi, I just found out that a girl I like has a granny (her mums mum) who is cousins with my granny (my dads mum). Basically would just like to know are we related?
Thanks

I think your children will turn out fine.

You are shirt-tail (distant) cousins.

Thanks for replying, but what do you mean a shirts tail? How far distant cousins? Should I be worried, is it OK to still see her as I really like her.

The relation is distant. You share 1 out of 32 great-great grandparents. That is really negligible and nothing to be concerned about.

I said in parentheses "distant." Very distant. No worries.

Worry free boinking.

Phew, so we are not third cousins? (sorry guys, still same guy despite extra 7 on my username)
Thanks for taking time to reply.

Are the two grannies first cousins? You didn't say.

Yeah, my dads mum and her mums mum are 1st cousins... does that change things?

Then you and the girl are 3rd cousins, but so what?

Not at all. Boink away.

Aww I really didn't want this to be true, isn't this wrong? People will frown upon it. I thought that we were third cousins to each others grannies but not related in anyway ourself

If your grannies were first cousins, their children are second cousins to each other, and the children's children are third cousins to each other.

Yes, you two are related, distantly. No, there is nothing wrong with 3rd cousins dating. In the event you marry and have children, the gene pool has been greatly stirred up by additional people along the way. No one will frown on it.

It's fine. Don't worry.
