1. won't the child be your second cousin?
and not your niece or nephew?

It's still GREAT news! Congrats!

6. Here's an odd coincidence--my new "ladyfriend" was formerly married to a Tamil man
and also has quite a bit of experience with geneaology, she was explaining what the differnece was between first cousin once removed, twice removed etc, and then said "in India it's different--everybody's an aunt or uncle!"

That just came up at lunch yesterday. Not terribly important, but I thought the coincidence was kinda cool.

Congratulations by the way! :D :hi:

10. Hooray!
the best part about neices and nephews - you can spoil them rotten, then give them back to the parents.
