A no-nonsense guide to knowing your cousins.  But not too well, mind you.
After having reviewed cousincouples.com, I discovered it’s legal to marry your first cousin in New York (as well as about 2 dozen other states), but in Indiana, you’re only allowed to marry a first cousin if you’re both at least 65.  I kid you not, cuz.
And while we’re on the topic, one of my first cousins has a birthday today.  Make it count, Paige!

for some reason that always confused me we call our grand aunt our great aunt… I think great just sounds better.
