Me, too, Donna. I thought I was confusing when trying to explain how my
dad's 3d wife was the daughter of his first wife's first husband. -- Ruth in Happy Camp "Donna in Idaho" wrote in message ... Pat, I got thoroughly lost before I got through all the Mary's in your family! Seems like name confusion must be pretty common! Before I retired, the two men I worked for both had wives names Ellen. My SIL's two sons both married Nancy's. However, one of them recently got divorced. Then their sister and her daughter both remarried recently - both of them married Mike's! Strange thing - my mother was one of 11 kids. With all the kids and grandkids, there were never any duplicate or mixed up names. Could have partly been because my Grandma didn't pick common names and no one wanted to ever use them again! My mom was Hazel Leilian, my aunts were Frances Gwendolyn, Theresa Regina (although she swears up and down her name is Theresa Ruth - I remember hearing my Grandma and her arguing about her middle name when I was a kid!), Armilda Bell (she was never called anything except Boots), Cora Minnie, Serena Elizabeth, etc. She did a little better names for the boys - Archie Gard, Jeffie Oren, and Nelson Kyle! -- Donna in Idaho! Project Linus Boise/SW Idaho Coordinator Website: http://donnakwilts.tripod.com/ The ultimate inspiration is the deadline! "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... We've got lots of Mary and variations in the family. My sister and cousin on Dad's side had same last name, plus 4 cousins on Mom's side, each of whom had same last name. Again, we work it out. Besides they've all gotten married and changed their names. The really confusing situation is with the one named same as my Sister Mary and her brother. Cousin Mike married a woman called Mary K. So she became Mary KC. Not a problem, as his Sister Mary had different last name. But not for long. She divorced that DH and used her own name again, which was same as Mike's wife. Both were Mary C ... as my sister had been before her marriage. Then, about 8 years later Cousin Mary was visiting from out of town and started dating the brother of the other Mary C. Those two got married. So, my Cousin is Mary CK and her SisInLaw is Mary KC. (Are you still with me? The brother and sister of the K family married the sister and brother of the C family and both women were called Mary. Thank Goodness the other man is not called Mike!) YIKES! PAT in VA/USA |

I was never quite sure on that point. They were married in East Texas. I
happened to be in Corpus Christi at the time and, knowing that Texas has some uh strange laws, I checked and discovered that you can't (at least couldn't then) marry a step child/parent or even step sibling. I did not find out if she would have been classified a step child. Her paternal grandparents took custody of her and her siblings soon after her step mother married my father, so there was no real family affiliation. She was apparently a really nice lady and too good for Old Dad, and found that out before too much damage was done. -- Ruth in Happy Camp "taria" wrote in message ... Is that legal?

It's actually quite clear -
The first wife of Dad had been married before to a man who already had a daughter ("first wife's first husband") This daughter was a step daughter to the first wife while she was married to the first husband. This daughter was not a step daughter any more after her father (the first husband) was out of the picture. First wife lost a husband and a step-daughter. The first wife eventually married Dad, but daughter was not related to first wife any more, so she wasn't related to Dad. Somewhere along the line, Dad had a second wife (who was, we hope, not related to anyone in this story). This daughter eventually became the 3rd wife. This reminds me of a recent sports article about local high school football players who, the article said, were 5th cousins. An analysis of the article revealed that they were 2nd cousins once removed. -- Teresa in Colorado -- "CNYstitcher" wrote in message ...

Wow! Reminds me of a wedding announcement in the local paper
Susie is marrying Bobby. Susie is the daughter of Mary Smith, Joe Jones and his new wife Sally Jones. Bobby is the son of Bill Adams, Sally Jones and her new husband Joe Jones. I wondered if they grew up together or if they met later though their parents or what. Wondered if the grandkids would be equally confused one day. marcella In article et, "Teresa in Colorado" wrote: It's actually quite clear - The first wife of Dad had been married before to a man who already had a daughter ("first wife's first husband") This daughter was a step daughter to the first wife while she was married to the first husband.

My parents lived down the street from a woman who married a man, divorced him,
and then married his brother. She had 2 children by each man. Were the kids siblings or cousins? Since they all lived with Mom, they were half-sibs. Also - I didn't know this but read it in a book. If a set of identical twin girls marries a set of identical twin boys, and they each have a child - genetically, the children are siblings - even though legally, they are cousins. They come form the exact same gene pool. Merry Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once http://www.stardancerpress.com/MerryStahel/ http://community.webshots.com/user/merrystahel |
