<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 11027731, member: 36"]My dad's family adopted relatives if someone was a relative by marriage or locality. The two Uncles my dad talked about often always puzzled me; where were they on the family tree? Nowhere. One was an uncle's brother-in-law. The other was his grandmother's upstairs neighbor and also the son of her bestie, who may or may not have been a distant-ish cousin. Nobody knew for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
