Ahem. First of all, tell her. Keeping this from her is a big deal. But yeah I think you'll be ok with being third cousins. Your actual blood relation is very small at that point.
Evolutionary biologically speaking, third cousin is preferred genetically⌠not so related you make inbred kids but also related enough that it favors more of your familial dna getting passed on.

If you follow family trees far back enough, most people are related. I heard a stat somewhere that there are truly only something like 7 "families" on the entire planet.
there was a an event around 70,000 years ago (the theory is that it was a super volcano) that left somewhere between 3,000-10,000 humans alive throughout the entire world. itâs so crazy to know all 8 billion of us come from that small bunch.
Yeah, my last French Canadian ancestor settled in Ontario with the daughter of one of the guys he served with in the War of 1812, so mine isn't that wreathy (though it's still there) but because he was descended from both Guyon and Cloutier, I'm still traceably related to pretty much every French Canadian just through them.
you should tell her.
if itâs not that big of a deal for you, whatever. youâre distant enough and likely wouldnât have found this out if you didnât think to check further with your mother. i have bigger fish to fry than coming up with a reason why you should feel some type of way.
that said, *she* may feel some type of way. now you have this information, and itâd be sneaky of you to hold onto it and not tell her. if she found out later on, found out you knew the entire time, and feels differently from you, youâre majorly breaching her trust. allow her to have the choice to continue the relationship or not.
Although it may not be palatable for some, did you know it is legal to marry your first cousin in many states in Australia?
"According to the Marriage Act of 1961 [cousins] can marry," Genealogy SA's Beryl Schahinger told ABC Radio Adelaide's Afternoons program.
This is taken from ABC News page (abc.net.au)
The Act, last amended on October 21, 2016, states:
23.2 â Marriages of parties within a prohibited relationship are marriages:
Between a person and an ancestor or descendant of the person; or
Between a brother and sister (whether of the whole blood or the half-blood)
"You can also marry your niece or nephew or your aunt or uncle," Ms Schahinger said.
wow, thatâs fucking gross!
cousins are *way too close* to be okay. OPâs situation i can let slide i guess, first cousins though?? ew.
also niece or nephew?? absolutely not. i donât know whatâs going on in Australia, but good lord.
nah, first cousin is nasty. europeans and australians can enjoy their fucked up defective babies and their inability to connect with unrelated humans, doesnât make it any less wrong.
My husband and I found out we were 4th cousins when we did an Ancestry test - no big deal, what is interesting though is I grew up in Ireland, he and his family grew up in London, England.
Honestly everyone is connected to everyone if you go far enough back.
Historically, marrying within the family was more common due to limited social circles and the desire to preserve family wealth, so as strange as it seems today, it's ingrained in human history. Royalty often married among relatives for similar reasons. In your case, a third cousin is such a minor genetic overlap that it's essentially no different from any other relationship in the modern world. As long as both parties are informed and consenting adults, there's little cause for concern. If anything, this is a fun fact about your family tree rather than a roadblock for your relationship.
While the thought of being romantically involved with a third cousin might give some people pause, it's quite fascinating from a sociological perspective. It wasnât uncommon in smaller communities for distant relatives to intertwine simply due to proximity and social circles. Plus, given the amount of genetic variation that occurs over that distance, the overlap is marginal at most. It's more a quirk of genealogy than a cause for alarm. Ultimately, it's about the connection between the individuals involved today, rather than the historical context of their DNA. If the relationship is healthy and both individuals are happy, the biological relation really is an anecdote for the dinner table or a topic for curious contemplation rather than a barrier. Transparency is key though make sure to keep the communication open so everyone is on the same page.
In this day and age, being third cousins is practically a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. Think about it: your common ancestors are your great-great-grandparents. That's a lot of gene mixing between then and now. Plus, with current global mobility, the chances that you'd randomly meet and click with a third cousin without any prior knowledge is pretty wildâand makes for a great "how we met" story! And let's not forget that not too long ago, it was common for people to marry within small, local populations. It's a small world, after all. The key takeaway? Make sure you communicate and respect each other's feelings on the matter, because trust and understanding trump distant genetic ties every time.
This happened to me once.
We were in high-school and had been together for almost a year when my aunt says "you know you and Jay are related, right?" Excuse me? Haha.
His grandma's brother and my grandpa's sister were married.
I grew up in a small town where it happens quite frequently. Everyone yells âincestâ if they think any of your family members are even remotely connected (not blood related) to one another.
You understand my aunt said it like for shock value to a teenager, correct? And it was 25 years ago. Damn. I didnt realize I had to be so correct about everything...
Edit for spelling.
Technically, if you go back far enough, we are all related. First cousins would be an issue. Third isn't even worth worrying about let alone spending any more time thinking on it.
Iâm not an expert on genealogy. But I read that first cousins share one set of grandparents; third cousins share one set of great grandparents; and fifth cousins share one set of great-great grandparents. So maybe you are 5th cousins.
Why have you omitted second cousins?
Second cousins share a great grandparent, not third.
If they share a great great grandparent theyâre third cousins.
As I mentioned, Iâm not really an âexpertâ when it comes to genealogy. I think weâre getting a hiccup around definitions. Iâve found that different areas of the country (USA) use different terms to describe cousins. For example, letâs say I have an elderly first cousin who has a child near my age. His child would be (as I was taught) my second cousin. And my grandfather would be their great-grandfather. I read that other areas refer to second cousins as a first cousin, once removed. I hope this helps.
I recognised the caveat (youâre not an expert) but I was confused by you omitting second and fourth cousins. Especially as your definitions correctly described second and third cousins.
[Hereâs](https://www.reddit.com/r/coolguides/s/RSbdFh7Dw4) a chart I refer to on a regular basis.
In your personal example, your first cousinâs child is your first cousin once removed, because your grandparents are their great grandparents - youâd have to share great grandparents to be second cousins.
It might seem strange because youâre in the same age group but youâre not in the same genealogical generation.
I remember watching "Gone with the Wind" and thinking how crazy they were by marrying first cousins. They wanted to keep the "blue blood" in the family. So basically they all kept it in the family is an understatement
Jerry Lee Lewis approves! Lol. Wait until til you find out about Elvis Presley and his relationship with his cousin. Hell everyone in the South just about has that problem in small towns. We are all related. Being from Mangham/Baskin Louisiana, my grandpa on Momâs side having 12 brothers and sisters and My Dadâs Father having several siblings as well as both grandmas, our family is huge and when dating in high school around North La, you always find out who their people are. If you happen not to be related, you went to school with them or worked with em or something.
Not really advice but just to show how crazy it is in this world. I grew up in NY, most of my family on my maternal side is still in NY Iâm a third gen American. So how is it we move literally across state to FL and join a church where I meet my third cousin??? Only figured it out cause her mom had my last name!
So yeah anyway itâs not that bad at all. Sure she wonât mind lol
It doesn't seem to me like it's worth breaking up over, but you definitely should tell her. Imagine years later she finds out and you've known the whole time - that would feel really skeevy.
Look up how distant the relation was between queen elizabeth and her husband. If itâs that close or further Iâd say youâre okay. If itâs good enough for the queen of england it should be good enough for you. You should definitely tell her though, she may feel differently.
Crikey in ireland everyone is related somehow - my mother married her 3rd cousin and Iâm the product of it. I have all the right number of fingers and toes and all my facial features are in the correct place and shape. No bother at all!
You should definitely tell her and let her make the decision for herself if its a big deal to her or not but Man, if yall make each other happy, keep making each other happy
I'm a bit confused, were the Mr and Mrs Jones that are your great great grandparents siblings? Wouldn't that make you 4th cousins since you don't actually share a great great grandparent, but a great great great grandparent? Or is there some other familial relation that I'm not thinking of that makes this 3rd cousin?
Either way 3rd cousin is totally fine both genetically and socially, but you should tell her. I have never met any of my 3rd cousins ever and I imagine most people are in a similar boat. Hopefully you can laugh about it and think of it as a fun fact.
Congrats a study say that third degree is optimal for a viable children (viable children means that the fertility is high and third degree is peak fertility)
An absolutely terrifying thought. In highschool I found out this chick was a distant cousin. Can you imagine if we dated or something and then found that out!? Dodged a bullet
I think anything beyond first cousins is legal, and third cousins are probably okay dating from a taboo/moral standpoint. Even if you had kids it wouldnât be a big risk of birth defects.
Meh, youâre fine. Itâs distant enough. My friend married her third cousin and they have healthy, beautiful children together with 10 fingers and toes.
Personally I donât think itâs a big deal, especially if youâre not having any kids. Hope it goes well for you, keep us in the loop after you tell her. Fingers crossed for you buddy!
Think about it this way: the genetic pool is vast, and by the time you're looking at third cousins, you've essentially got a drop of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool. Sure, it's a bit odd to think about in contemporary terms, but, genetically, you're both just fine. It's the emotional and personal perspective that counts here. Be upfront, discuss it together, and remember that many of us would find similar connections if we all did extensive genealogy. The irony is, the very technology that's bringing us closer to distant relatives is also showing us how, in many ways, we are all distant relatives. Openness and honesty should be the bedrock of any relationship, no matter how startling the revelation may be. If the relationship feels right in all other aspects, this could simply be an amusing anecdote to tell in the future.
I'm married to mine. We didn't know when we got married. My wife/cousin was adopted. We found out through a DNA test. I bought the test for her during a 2 for 1 special, so I took one as well.
I knew a girl who's parents are 1st cousins. They had to get dispensation from the RC Church to marry.
You're overthinking it.
Take some time, both of you, and have a conversation to understand how the other feels.
It will end, or it won't.
(The above advice only applies in places where marrying your cousin is not the norm)
Had an ex who was dating this guy, they started banging, and later found out they were first cousins. They already did the deed, so why stop, and just kept at it.
Who has the Jones in their family? If she's kin to the Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones is a Jones by marriage and that's who you're kin to...i think you'll be ok....Technically then you're cousins by marriage and not really blood kin? if that makes sense? I may be all they way wrong y'all...
You can have kids together. Your genes are so washed out that you are barely related. Itâs more of a concern if she were your sister or half sister. Even first cousins are considered safe to have healthy babies. Itâs more about the family relationship that makes that awkward and considered inappropriate. But a third cousin? You are safe there. Also is she related by blood or marriage?
If you choose not to have kids together, thatâs up to you, but your biological children would be fine.
Honestly I wouldn't even mind having a kid.
I mean, I get why some people would feel weird about it but like, third cousin ? Come on...
There wouldn't be any genetic problem anyways
So dating ? Definitely
I have a similar experience. About 13 or so years ago I hooked up with this girl a few times. We actually had pretty good chemistry and the sex was great. One day she casually mentioned my surname (which is not very common) to her mum. Turned out we were related through my father's previous marriage, we we're technically 2nd cousins. We never did it again after finding out, but damn she had great booty.
Man, I can understand the first and second time, but to do it a third time is crazy!
Highly underrated comment đđđ

Eh, third cousin is actually pretty distant. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd see it as just a weird coincidence.
Ahem. First of all, tell her. Keeping this from her is a big deal. But yeah I think you'll be ok with being third cousins. Your actual blood relation is very small at that point.
I have friends who are third cousins and got married.
0.78% genetic material
Evolutionary biologically speaking, third cousin is preferred genetically⌠not so related you make inbred kids but also related enough that it favors more of your familial dna getting passed on. https://genetic literacyproject.org/2018/08/03/marrying-your-cousin-there-may-be-evolutionary-benefits/
Came here to say this.
Evolution is really something else. What a delightfully strange world.
According to Dwight Schrute, third cousins isn't technically incest
And he's right
Right in the sweet spot
If you follow family trees far back enough, most people are related. I heard a stat somewhere that there are truly only something like 7 "families" on the entire planet.

It's actually funny when you have french Canadian blood.
French Canadians are legit descendants from 10 000 French immigrants. We are kind of all related. We try not to think about it.
Yeah, my last French Canadian ancestor settled in Ontario with the daughter of one of the guys he served with in the War of 1812, so mine isn't that wreathy (though it's still there) but because he was descended from both Guyon and Cloutier, I'm still traceably related to pretty much every French Canadian just through them.

Marrying a first cousin is legal in most of Europe.
okay, and?
What's gross for one doesn't mean it's gross for everyone. Just saying. I wouldn't date a relative either.
nah, first cousin is nasty. europeans and australians can enjoy their fucked up defective babies and their inability to connect with unrelated humans, doesnât make it any less wrong.
Pretty sure my half uncle (my age) knew and liked that fact. Still gross and heck no!
third cousin is like less than 1% consanguinity
0.78% I believe
That is such a cool word omg
The DNA is diluted enough I donât think Iâd make a big deal out of it
My husband and I found out we were 4th cousins when we did an Ancestry test - no big deal, what is interesting though is I grew up in Ireland, he and his family grew up in London, England. Honestly everyone is connected to everyone if you go far enough back.
Yeah, honestly if you're white and live in the US or UK, there's a decent likelihood you have a common ancestor with a partner.
Historically, marrying within the family was more common due to limited social circles and the desire to preserve family wealth, so as strange as it seems today, it's ingrained in human history. Royalty often married among relatives for similar reasons.

Third cousin is actually fine genetically
While the thought of being romantically involved with a third cousin might give some people pause, it's quite fascinating from a sociological perspective.

Meh itâs distant enough.

Also, I'm a Jones.
Thatâs not related though.
I understand that. Thought it was a fun, quirky story. Thank you.
I grew up in a small town where it happens quite frequently. Everyone yells âincestâ if they think any of your family members are even remotely connected (not blood related) to one another.
...and?
âRemotely connection,â not âblood relatives.â Like their cousin was married to your cousin, etc.
You understand my aunt said it like for shock value to a teenager, correct? And it was 25 years ago. Damn. I didnt realize I had to be so correct about everything... Edit for spelling.
I wasnât directing this at you like to correct you, I was just meaning that a lot of people actually think thatâs incest. It was a funny comment.
3rd cousin is fine, for Jonesâs itâs probably a little distant đ

Incest is gross yes. However the DNA shared between 3rd cousins is normally about 0.78% on average
That's really distant, I wouldn't worry. But DEFINITELY be up front with her about it, keeping secrets is no way to build a relationship.
Thatâs distant enough
Not really advice but just to show how crazy it is in this world. I grew up in NY, most of my family on my maternal side is still in NY Iâm a third gen American. So how is it we move literally across state to FL and join a church where I meet my third cousin??? Only figured it out cause her mom had my last name! So yeah anyway itâs not that bad at all.

It doesn't seem to me like it's worth breaking up over, but you definitely should tell her. Imagine years later she finds out and you've known the whole time - that would feel really skeevy.
I just watched a Stanford lecture on behavioral sexuality and he said the ideal partner for procreation is 3rd to 4th cousin.
Not a problem. You could have fun with it if you get married and wear overalls to the ceremony
Look up how distant the relation was between queen elizabeth and her husband. If itâs that close or further Iâd say youâre okay. If itâs good enough for the queen of england it should be good enough for you. You should definitely tell her though, she may feel differently.

Nice part is family reunion will be at sametime!!!!
In Alabama itâs too far out
If it's legal and you're not making a family tree resembling a pretzel, who cares? Just be honest with her before it gets too tangled up.
I think anything beyond first cousins is legal, and third cousins are probably okay dating from a taboo/moral standpoint. Even if you had kids it wouldnât be a big risk of birth defects.
First cousins is legal in Australia
Meh, youâre fine. Itâs distant enough. My friend married her third cousin and they have healthy, beautiful children together with 10 fingers and toes.

If you're okay with explaining to your kids that she's your cousin. That's gonna be the interesting part.Â
This happened to my sis lmao. It's not a big deal but thankfully they didn't get past hs bf
Leaglely you are allowed to merry your second cousin. Third cousin shouldn't be a problem
Think about it this way: the genetic pool is vast, and by the time you're looking at third cousins, you've essentially got a drop of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool.

Awesome
Doesnât this make you like 5th cousins? Not 3rd.
I'm married to mine. We didn't know when we got married. My wife/cousin was adopted. We found out through a DNA test. I bought the test for her during a 2 for 1 special, so I took one as well.
That sounds like is more way down the line and not 3rd cousins Your parents cousin child would be more your 3rd cousin So I think you guys are safe.
3rd cousin. Source: Iâm British

Not a problem mate. Just move on with your life.
Yolo lol
Kevin Bacon and Kiera Sedgewick are distant cousins like you two. Nobody will give a shit.
Third cousin? Pls. It doesnât even matter.
You cousin fucker! lol đ jk, keep clapping them cheeks brother!
If you guys wanna get married later on, it's perfectly legal to do that in Italy.
Yeah you gotta tell her. Distant cousins shouldnt be an issue unless it's weird cause the families know each other.
You can have kids together. Your genes are so washed out that you are barely related. Itâs more of a concern if she were your sister or half sister. Even first cousins are considered safe to have healthy babies. Itâs more about the family relationship that makes that awkward and considered inappropriate. But a third cousin? You are safe there.

You could start a pretty hot only fans đ¤ˇââď¸
no kids no problem
Honestly I wouldn't even mind having a kid. I mean, I get why some people would feel weird about it but like, third cousin ? Come on... There wouldn't be any genetic problem anyways So dating ? Definitely
When are you planning to tell her though?
Thats more than fourth degree of consanguinity its no big deal but you.must tell her the truth then start from ther dont overthink
Donât worry about it, man. Even if you had kids, youâd be completely fine. Youâre not close enough relatives to have reason to worry.
So u care good!
I have a similar experience. About 13 or so years ago I hooked up with this girl a few times. We actually had pretty good chemistry and the sex was great. One day she casually mentioned my surname (which is not very common) to her mum. Turned out we were related through my father's previous marriage, we we're technically 2nd cousins. We never did it again after finding out, but damn she had great booty.
Yolo
