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, or consanguinity, between yourself and your first cousins? Between third cousins and second cousins once removed? Do you know anything at all about the removes? Do you understand the difference between a greataunt and a grandaunt? Or between a cousin-german and a cater cousin? And what about double first cousins? If you're a little vague about any of this, then this book is for you. In clear, practical terms it 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. Everything! The expanded second edition features new chapters on the subjects of marriage, names, and wills (kinship and the rights of inheritance); an expanded treatment of other subjects, such as degrees of consanguinity and how to calculate blood relationships; and a new glossary, bibliography, and an index. In short, Jackie Arnold's acclaimed Kinship: It's All Relative is now more authoritative than ever.

Easy to understand considering that this is a very confusing and misunderstood topic. I use it for reference all the time. A lot of information that is hard to find elsewhere is available in this book at a very low price.

This is an excellent reference book that describes the different levels of kinship that is easily understandable, especially the once and twice removed levels.

Now I understand

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2011

Now I really do know what a second cousin is. And all those 'removeds' - have them figured out too. A fascinating book, it should be part of any well rounded education.

Book review

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2009

I read the book, "Kinship: It's all Relative", but was not impressed with it. The author seemed to be "looking down her nose" at the reader. Her explanations for kinship were not truly clear, at least to me.
