HomeFettre og kusiner eller på engelsk Cousins er ganske interessant. Betegnelsen er litt forskjellig på norsk og engelsk:
Søsken - Siblings - Har felles foreldre. (første ledd)
Fetter eller Kusine - First Cousin - Har et felles besteforeldre par (andre ledd)
Tremenning - Second Cousin - Har et felles oldeforeldre par (tredje ledd).
Firmenning - Third Cousin - Har et felles tippoldeforeldre par (fjerde ledd).
Man kan fortsette og finne felles foreldre på et hvilket som helst nivå. Og det er blitt estimert at alle personer har ca. 4 trillioner tjueenmenninger (Twenty Cousins). Så man kan godt si at alle personer er i slekt bare man går nok langt tilbake.
La oss nå stille spørsmålet: Er vår tremenning's tremenninger våre tremenninger også?
Ja, noen av dem men ikke alle. Vanligvis har man 4 par av forskjellige oldeforeldre og en bestemt tremenning av meg og meg har vanligvis bare ett par av disse 4 parene med oldeforeldre som felles oldeforelder. Så min tremenning X kan ha noen tremenninger som jeg ikke har.
I engelsktalende land bruker man uttrykket "removed" for å beskrive en avstand i generasjoner mellom to personer som er Cousins. Hvis x og y er "Eight.Cousins 5 times removed" betyr det at x og y er åttende cousins og at det er en forskjell på 5 generasjoner mellom x og y.
Jeg har oppdatert RelationShip og fått litt mere symmetri i linjene, samtidig som jeg har rettet en liten feil. På bildet under har jeg spurt etter slektskap mellom Johannes Nilsen og Amella Bergetta og fått denne tavla som svar.
Navneskikk i eldre tider
Det kan nesten sies at det var tre forskjellige navnetyper i tidligere tider. Døpenavnet, eller fornavnet, var det viktigste. De fleste ble omtalt med døpenavn. Det var først på 1800-tallet det ble vanlig med doble fornavn. Før den tid var et navn det vanligste, selv om det kan finnes dobbeltnavn før denne tid i de ulike landsdeler.
I tillegg til døpenavnet ble de fleste identifisert med patronymikon, som er fars navn som ble tillagt endelser som -son/sen eller søn hos guttebarn, mens pikebarn fikk -dotter/-datter som endelse. Det var først rundt midten av 1800-tallet vi kan si at disse endelsene "stivnet" og dermed beholdt sine endelser som faste slektsnavn.
Det tredje navnet forteller oss gjerne hvor vedkommende bodde. Noe som dermed endret seg etter hvert som man flyttet og dermed kan det gi litt av noen nøtter for oss, samtidig som det jo også forteller om vedkommende var mye på flyttefot som husmann.
I byene var ikke dette så alminnelig, mange tok imidlertid navn etter det siste stedet de bodde som fast etternavn når de flyttet til en by.
Adelen og embetsmenn tok faste navn allerede på midten av 1600-tallet. Kvinnene i disse familiene beholdt i mange tilfelle sine "pikenavn" selv om de giftet seg. Prestene gjorde i mange tilfelle det kunststykket å "oversette" navnet til latin. Det mest kjente tilfeller av slik "latinisering" er nok stedsnavnet Bruby som ble til Pontoppidan ( latin: pons=bru, oppidum=by) eller som i skuespillet Erasmus Montanus ( Rasmus Berg)
Håndverkere som kom til Norge tok i mange tilfelle sin yrkesbetegnelse som etternavn: Shreiner ( snekker ), Müller (Møller) osv.

The calendar as reformed by Pope Gregory XIII. in 1582, including the method of adjusting the leap years so as to harmonize the civil year with the solar, and also the regulation of the time of Easter and the movable feasts by means of epochs.
The year as now reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar. Thus, every year, of the current reckoning, which is divisible by 4, except those divisible by 100 and not by 400, has 366 days; all other years have 365 days.
The solar calendar now in general use, introduced by Gregory XIII in 1582 to correct an error in the Julian calendar by suppressing 10 days, making Oct 5 be called Oct 15, and providing that only centenary years divisible by 400 should be leap years; it was adopted by Pope Gregory XIII on October 4, 1582 and then Great Britain and the American colonies on September 3, 1752.
Julian Calendar:

A chronological period of 7,980 years, combining the solar, lunar, and indiction cycles (28 x 19 x 15 = 7,980), being reckoned from the year 4713 B. C., when the first years of these several cycles would coincide, so that if any year of the period be divided by 28, 19, or 15, the remainder will be the year of the corresponding cycle. The Julian period was proposed by Scaliger, to remove or avoid ambiguities in chronological dates, and was so named because composed of Julian years.
