Hello!
I have been researching genealogy research for over 25 years. As you can see by my data on this website - I have over 11,000 names in my family tree!
What you can't see here are the many deeds, land grants, Wills, obits, marriage, death and birth records, immigration facts, Census, land lottery winners, etc. I can research your family and supply you with all the information for an hourly
charge. If yours is an extensive research - or if it involves travel - fees can be negotiated.
References and fees are available, upon request. Email me for more information.
Happy Hunting! 
COUSIN RELATIONSHIPS
(taken
from marthastewart.com)
Is that person your cousin, your second cousin, or your first cousin once removed?
If you’ve ever been to a family reunion, then you know how confusing it can be to understand your relationship to someone who’s called a second cousin, or perhaps a cousin once or twice removed. Let’s start with first cousins. These are the people in your family who are the children of your aunts and uncles, the siblings of your mother or father. You are of the same generation and also share two of the same grandparents. The term “removed” indicates that two people are from different generations. For example, if your first cousin has a child, then that child is your first cousin once removed, or one generation removed from your first cousin. Consequently, if that once-removed cousin has a child, that offspring will be your first cousin twice removed, and so on.
Second cousins fall into a different category. These are people in your family who have two of the same great-grandparents as you, but not the same grandparents. In other words, if your first cousin has a child and you have a child, then those children are second cousins. Upon understanding this, know that third cousins have two of the same
great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins share two of the same great-great-great-grandparents, and on and on. And as a suggestion, it helps if you’ve prepared a family tree.
