Detroit Filarets win first place.

My cousin is part of the group. If you watch the video she is just to the left of the conductor in the womans choir. St Stanislaus graduate, dont ask me what year.

Congratulations

How much smaller can the world get? Your cousin is my mother-in-law.

You can catch the Filarets at least one weekend each Christmas season at Old St. Mary's in Greektown. And their director, Bob Barnhart, is the full-time organist there.

Actually second cousin, my mother and her were first cousins.
and you are married to Cathy?
I was at the 75th suprise Birthday party.

That would make her your first cousin once removed. If she has any kids, those would be your second cousins.

I'm a "she" and married to Doug, Cathy's older brother. I was at that party too but I'm sure I missed seeing you as I was either holding Stephen's new baby or running around serving coffee.

Corn,

excuse me! my chauvinism got in the way.
You have been to my house in Eaton Rapids for the reunions.

Hope you and Doug and all the grandkids are all doing well.

I posted the information here to see who would come out of the woodwork.
Lo and behold it worked.

Pam,
thank you for the cousin lesson, I always get that mixed up.
so if Doug is a son and I am a son of first cousins we are??????????
thirds or removed?

That depends on if any relatives are from Tennessee, couldn't resist

Second cousins. The "removes" come in when the generation is different. Now if you had kids and and your second cousin had kids, they would be third cousins to each other, but second cousins once removed to you. Make sense or clear as mud?
