No one can consciously choose their parents and relatives.Fate decreed that a person comes into the world and immediately is part of a chain of relationships.On many of them, he may not even know.There were times when people before they reach old age in the dark, suddenly learned that they have relatives, which they absolutely have not heard before.And now, to the mutual joy at the lonely person is declared a half-sister or cousin's son from a large family, are ready to share the warmth and closeness with the new relative.
family - these are the people who believe if you do not love, then at least respect and appreciate.Close to us are not the thoughts and views of life, as friends, but by blood.Thanks to the preservation of family ties, we can hope that there is someone who is always ready to lend you a helping hand in trouble.
Earlier in the families was made to have many children.When they grew up, acquire their husbands and wives, then settled in the vicinity of the family home.Often it appeared that the whole village turned out to be unrelated.And almost always all we know who is who and who falls.At one hut lives godfather, friend, cousin or second cousin.
Now times have changed, keep in touch with relatives, not all.We know their loved ones - parents, brothers and sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers.But when a long-distance relationship, many people tend to get confused in his powers.For example, how to contact you second cousin?Not everyone will be able to quickly find and answer, without hesitation.To learn how to calculate the family ties, it is necessary to have a well-developed memory.Of course, much easier to spy somewhere than to remember that this is the son of great-aunt or uncle.
Counting will require more extensive knowledge.For example, a brother - son as your parents.Cousin - the child's uncle or aunt's relatives (ie brother or sister of one of your parents).And the son of a cousin or aunt just be a second cousin.The same uncle and aunt will fall cousin brother or sister of your father or mother.
another example.To understand what is dearer son cousin, to remember that every child of any of your brother or sister (at least relatives, even cousins, three times removed, etc.) account for your nephew, according to the degree of kinship.
confess my genealogical intricacies of confused easier than to understand.So, any old lady from an old village was smarter me in matters of kinship.But there is nothing to be surprised - my family is just one of those that hardly communicate with distant relatives.Desire for rapprochement never had from our side or from distant relatives.Needless to say about the whole family celebrations or anniversaries grandiose, where "all his."Ancient traditions of nepotism we did not go in, as I sometimes regret.
I know that I have a second cousin there, but never saw him.Cousins and second cousins, nephews also available.Is it time to stop feeling sorry about forgetting, but instead try to find relatives and to establish communication?
