Pearls Before Swine: Doesn’t seen possible for first cousins.
alexander_busek: Two brothers - one born in 1920, the other in 1945 (the mother was 20 years old at the time of the birth of the first son, and 45 years old [not unheard of] at the time of the birth of the second son).
The one born in 1920 becomes a father at age twenty, in 1940.
The one born in 1945 becomes a father at age 50, in 1995.
As the French say: Voilà!
Regards,
You’re up to 50, I suppose you could stretch it another 5 years, lol.
While it is possible they are first cousins, it is also very possible that they speak of each other as “cousins”, even if there is no actual blood lineage shared between them.
I know a young lady who calls another young lady her sister, but they are not related by blood, nor were they raised in the same household growing up. One was raised in Oklahoma, and the other in California. They both have a common half-brother, who was raised with neither of them. Yet, the two young ladies refer to each other as sister.
