  • @DrRank
    @DrRank Рік тому +288

    There's one group you forgot about. If your parents become widowed or divorced and later remarry, their new spouse becomes your stepmother or stepfather. All the new stepparent's family relationships are the same as normal, but with the "step" prefix added. Any children they had from a previous relationship are your stepsiblings. However, if your stepparent and biological parent reproduce with each other, the new child is your half sibling, since you only share one biological parent.
    Also, if you're adopted, you have adoptive parents, but this just means that you have two family trees.

    Whenever I see a thing that requires knowledge of family trees, I always come back to this video, it's so quick and detailed, and I came here because I saw a meme saying "I am your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former roommate", and I now know that this dude is just your cousin's former roommate, although given the number of cousins that exists, doesn't really narrow much down, this dude could literally be your dad.

      Not necessarily. Your uncle's nephew might be you, a brother of yours, a cousin of yours from a different aunt/uncle, or your uncle's wife's nephew (biologically unrelated to you). Your cousin's cousin can be you, a sibling of yours, a different cousin of yours, or your cousin's cousin on his other side (biologically unrelated to you).

    @SacsachCCABP 3 роки тому +212

    The family tree should be in 3D - you can’t fit in the “in law” siblings unless you use a backwards line. But then that is more confusing, because you would have infinite layers of forwards/backwards lines since parents, grand and great, also have families and are only related through marriage.

    Why do people call their fathers grandmothers brothers Grand Uncle when you can just call them Gruncle

    • @Xomsabre
      @Xomsabre 3 роки тому +44

      So your Gruncle's sister (who is not your Grandmother) would be your Graunt?... I like it. Problem is, the "Gr-" prefix could still be confused for "Great" instead of "Grand".... but if we can all get on the same (and correct) page, then it shouldn't be an issue.

      This is a huge problem in the english language, the sister of your grandparent is your Grand Aunt. The sister of your great-grandfather is your Great-Grand Aunt. Your great-great grandfa-and well, so on, so on.

    I had to watch this after reading the Silmarillion to truly understand the incest happening between Olwe and Elmo's descendants.
    Olwe and Elmo are brothers. Olwe's granddaughter is Galadriel. Elmo's grandsons are Celeborn and Galathil.
    Galadriel and Celeborn marry, and are second cousins. But it gets worse
    Galathil has a great grandson, Elrond. Galadriel and Elrond are second cousins twice removed by blood because they share the parents of Olwe and Elmo. But Galadriel is also Elronds great grandaunt by marriage, because Celeborn is his Great Granduncle. It gets one level worse.
    Galadriel has a daughter, Celebrian. Guess who the hell she marries. Her third cousin once removed, and grandnephew Elrond. Oh no.
    I lied. It actually gets another tiny step worse. Elrond had a brother Elros. They are half elven and given the choice to be human or immortal elves. Elrond picks elf and has his daughter Arwen (already a product of gross incest), and Elros picks human. Elros' distant descendant is Aragorn. Making Aragorn and Arwen distant cousins as well. The story plays this for poetics as the reunion of the broken half elven houses. Yes. The reunion of two brothers children. My brain hurts.

      The reason the actual number of ancestors is much less than say for example your 15th grandparent which can roughly be calculated as 2 to the 15th power or 33,000 is simply due to inbreeding. This decreases the actual amount of direct ancestors substantially and these 33,000 can be perceived as irrefutably existing generational slots of which many are made up by the same individuals.

    If you think about it if you don’t have kids and don’t have siblings your basically ending billions of years of a family tree

    Yeah at church we downloaded this app called familysearch tree and it has a feature called find my cousins. Almost every person in the church was my 9th, 10th, or 11th cousin.

      Sounds like my family. Lol.
      One rule of thumb is that I would not go anywhere near anybody that shares my same last name or has my mother's maiden name. You never know if you might be related.

    You made a mistake at 1:14 You said prefix when the -in-law part actually is after, thus its a suffix. "pre" is latin for "before".

      Grey mentioned how siblings are a type of cousin. Can that logic be applied in reverse to say that cousins are a type of sibling?
