It does indeed.\n\nLet's just ignore them. Except at Christmas when we can grudgingly send them the naffest card in the box (the one with the picture of the bible and the candle on it).

No, step-cousins are pretty far removed anyway, and they definately arent related to you by blood.  The only real problem could be that the family may not like it.  And people might assume you are from Kentucky if you said it too loudly (and if they didnt catch the step part of it)

I wouldn't personally but there are many who have a closer connection with other countries.  No matter how wonderful you think the US is, there are many out there who feel the same way about other countries.

having the same heritage, I think I can say, for myself, yes, it is right.  it is not right if you take your own ancestry over your 'now' native country.  If American, you are American first, if Canadian or any other, it is the country to whom you were born or swore allegiance to first.  I am proud of my celtic heritage.  this is both Irish and Scot.  Ireland and Scotland were the final resting place for a barbarian group, called the Celts.

Everyone so far seems to have it right.\nYou and your cousin's children are cousins once-removed.\nYou and your cousin's grand children are twice-removed.\n\nAnd to add a little more:\nYour children and your sibling's children are first cousins\nYour children and your cousin's children are second cousins

I'm my opinion, if you were born here then no your not.. yes our ancestors may have been but you technically aren't..Saying we are just cuz our ancestors where is like saying that all black people are slaves just because some of there ancestors may have been. and i find that ridiculous..completely ridiculous..I'm proud to be born here and to be an American.. we should thank our ancestors for being immigrants.. not accuse each other of being immigrants..but with the whole battle going on right now.. i think that if you just simply wanna be a part of this country why is it too much to ask to do it legally? i mean seriously.. especially with all the terrorist stuff today.. wouldn't you want to know who was creeping into your backyard?

I'm old enough to be your grampa, however I'd denounce any grandson of mine with a name like Kaspa, sounds creepy.\nNationality? I'm Scotch America, German American, Perhaps a little Irish American (though I seldom admit it) might also be a little English American. After you get all the info. you need you may have a best seller, at least for"answers".

i'm sorry, but...don't you think that WE are their enemy in THEIR book? And that they must think the same things about us??\n\nto the asker: i sure am not American, when it comes to people like you! i mean, can't you look at their side of the story for once? I think we have caused more dammage to them in the space of a couple of years than they have to us\n\nDo i dare say it? or is there a sliver of selfishness here?
