It is funny, if I had known it was not active I would have let the sleeping dog lay, but I came across it as someone was reading it and I was looking at the "who's online". They wer reading this so I clicked on, supreised that 4 'galadriel type topics could be active in one day and it turns out someone was just perusing back on page 23 or somesuch.

If we know that the descendants of first cousins stay first cousins [adding the to removed column with each succeding generation, then what is a second or third cousin? I suppose a careful reading of the hobbit geneologies would reveal it.
OK what is a second cousin then?
