Cousins in Obits

Hi Kathleen, 
Was this record in Australia or Ireland?
In Ireland I could work it out for you, may take a bit of time!
Cousins............... I was told that a cousin that I had met was my Mothers first cousin, it turns out that her Grandfather and my Great Great Grandfather were brothers.
Quite a bit down the cousin line. So any cousin was a cousin
Great fun plottingall these people in your tree.

Hi Margot,

It wasn't a record, it was an obituary in the Irish Examiner newspaper Aug 1916 for the Rev Martin O'Connell.

I have been able to trace some of the cousins mentioned as attending the funeral.

I have come to the conclusion that in Ireland in an obit "cousin" means definately related, but not necessarily a first cousin, as it would in Australia.

But it is still a great source for discovering other family lines.

Regards

Kathleen

Hi, thanks for the update.
I guess you are in Australia, just in case here are some records.
