One day they will have their own little enterthemadness. haha
edit: I know what 'once removed' means, but I don't understand what the description, '10th cousin', means in that context, the article doesn't explain. |

Oh whoa a dig at me, I feel like a celeb lol.
I think I know what once removed is. Isn't it a "disowned" type thing? |

As far as I recall, all it means is....I forget, haha, I was getting mixed up with the numbers actually, the bit i thought i didn't know, if they are first cousins, they are of course the son and daughter of different siblings, if they are second cousins, they could be the offspring of a pair of cousins, I think, f*** knows, don't care, they are not really related that is the point anyway. Hell, as far as i know, it is legal for first cousins to be married. but don't blame the judge if your kid ends up being born with his eyeballs on his chin nubs and one of those transparent ass-stomachs.

![]() I have no clue what happened in that post. Once removed means they aren't in the same generation. You have cousins who were born from your parents siblings, they are first cousins. Then you have cousins born from your cousins: Second Cousins Then there are your parents cousins, who are also your cousins: Those are once removed cousins. It has nothing to do with a "disowned" thing. And tenth cousins really isn't a big thing. That's far enough apart to not have any genetic abnormalities in your children. Hell, everyone on planet Earth is related to one another some way. |

They're not really related to any significant extent.

This was also part of an episode of "Who do you think you are?" with Kyra Sedgwick tracing her lineage, and she discovered this... in 2011. This is VERY old news.

We are all related if you go far back enough anyway. Its not like their kids are going to be mutants or anything.

I think the more important thing that should be focused on is that Kevin Bacon is f**king awesome.

The only thing that would make this story even better is the revelation was revealed through an innocent game of "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon".

No, it's a generational thing. Like, I have a cousin, he's my first cousin. He has a son. His son is my first cousin once removed.

Also, my parents are 7th cousins. Anything after first is legal, and if you live in the same area long enough you're likely to run into a few tenth cousins, it's not that close a relation.

The way Kevin Bacon is connected to everyone, he's probably related to me. And I'm of Jamaican descent.
