      From: G6JPG@255soft.uk              We share a however-many-greats grandfather that makes us fourth cousins,       but not the corresponding mother (he's descended from George Surtees'       first wife, I'm descended from George's second [of three!]).              What are we:       half fourth cousins?       fourth half-cousins?       Something else?              And how would one describe the relationship between two people where the       halfness (?) is part way up the arms - or, as I _think_ is the case,       does that not arise (as it wouldn't be relevant)?       --       J.
