Let's see...

Belladonna Took married Bungo Baggins and they had Bilbo.
Mirabella Took (Belladonna's sister) married Gobadoc Brandybuck and had Primula Brandybuck (Drogo's wife, Bilbo's cousin and Frodo's mother).

Are you with me so far?

Drogo was Bilbo's second-cousin on his father's side.
Primula was Bilbo's first cousin on his mother's side.

I think that would make Drogo and Primula second cousins twice-removed. Anyone else care to give it a whirl?
