- Summary
- We pursue it as a hobby and search for it in the most out-of-the-way places, yet few of us actually know very much about kinship. For instance, do you know the degree of blood relationship between yourself and your first cousins? Between third cousins and second cousins once removed? Do you know anything at all about the removes? In clear, practical terms this book explains everything there is to know about kinship; about agnate and cognate kinship, collateral and fictive kinship, the kinship connection of orphans, foundlings, foster children, and adopted children. The enlarged second edition features chapters on the subjects of marriage, names, wills, and same-sex marriage. Diagrams showing consanguinity (degrees of relationship) will prove useful in charting family trees.
