Cub Rolling To New Home

Larry bought this cub up in Washington County, seems like.  He rebuilt the carburetor.  It really ran good, but now he can look for another one to buy and he loves looking for them.  These are not expensive tractors as they are small, really just for gardening.  I am posting this video for Fleta as she loves to watch the videos.  Kenny is riding the tractor and loading it for his 82 year old dad.  Loyd's mom was Bessie Gregory.   Bess was the daughter of Samuel Albert, Sam the son of George Washington, George the son of Mary Gaddy.  Now I am the daughter of Hazel, the daughter of Huston, the son of Solan who is the son of George Ellis.  Loyd and I are each 4 generations from Samuel Gaddy, Geo. and Mary's father.  Fleta could tell you what cousin we are but I don't know.  Well, Flet, here is your video!

What does "once removed" mean?

Determining exactly how one is related to another, particularly when sorting out the cousins in all their varying degrees, can be quite a daunting task. Unless one studies geneology, anyone more distantly related than an actual first cousin may be referred to as a second or third cousin, with no regard to the generations removed.
The chart shown above makes distinguishing relationships quite simple providing the user is able to trace back to the common ancestor. Finding the common ancestor is of critical importance, and yet is frequently overlooked. I can't count the times when I have been asked to explain how two people are related, with the only information to go on is something akin to "my great-grandmother's uncle's grandson". Clearly, in this scenario, the great grandmother is not the common ancestor! (However, since I brought it up, I'll solve that riddle below.) But first, let me provide a basic glossary of terms:

First Cousins - two individuals who have the same grandparents.
Second Cousins - two individuals who have the same great-grandparents

Third Cousins - two individuals who have the same great-great grandparents, and so on down the line...

Removed - this is a term used to describe the relationship between two "cousins" of differing generations. For example, your first cousin's child would be one generation removed from your first cousin, known as your first cousin once removed. The same is true in reverse; Your mother's first cousin would also be your first cousin once removed.
