Thelma married Norman. Her father was Alfred, grandfather was Alfred and great-grandfather was Joseph. Hmm, might as well put her maternal grandmother on there too, Rosa. Rosa's father was Daniel. (another one of those double cousin lines)
Rachel married Llewellyn. Her mother was Gerda, Her grandfather was Calfenus and her great grandfather was Joseph.
Thelma and Rachel are both 4th cousins once removed to me. They are second cousins to each other. I wonder, were they aware they were second cousins? I went to the same high school as second cousins once removed and didn't know one of them was related to me.
What makes this story more interesting than just simply were they aware of each other....they married brothers. Yep, Norman and Llewellyn are brothers. Small world.
