William McMillen Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 In doing Family Research, I found that my great grandfather on my grandmother's side had 5 wives. All sanctioned by the church. A question that I can't find on any of the Forums is, what would be todays relationship to me of the children born by the wives other than my greatgrandmother?
Calm Posted August 3, 2022 Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Half whatever the relation to the same generation of your great grandmother just as if your mother died and your father remarried and had children by his second wife, you would be their half brother. If from a previous husband, step whatever the relationship was with your great grandmother’s children and their children, etc of the same generation. Not sure if children from a later husband if she divorced your great grandfather would be any relation at all, I think not. Only those your great grandfather was considered a father to, either biological or adopted or step. Not an official answer, just off top of my head. added: this might help… https://brownmath.com/general/relation.htm#HalfStep Edited August 3, 2022 by Calm
