Does anyone else put their rellies on there? And have you found any lost cousins? I haven't yet, but having done the obvious ones I am now trying to go sideways into the Gt. aunts etc in the hope that someone will find me! Just trying to find more connections. :-)

	If they are related to you by blood, yes.

	Hi Jean Second cousins have the same great grandparents and third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents so yes, they belong on your tree. Heather
