What Does Once Removed Mean?

 

I have been trying to learn for awhile now what cousin once removed, aunt once removed etc. means and I think I have finally got it down.  

It is how many generations away from you it is.  Once removed means a difference of one generation, twice removed means a difference of two generations.  If your first cousin has a child, this child is your first cousin once removed.  

The chart below is like an easy cheat sheet for you. 

This link has more very useful information from Ancestry.

Ames Bros Well Makers and Pump Furnishers

 For as long as I can remember I have always heard stories about my grandpa, Edward Ames being a pump guy and knowing all there was to know about them.  I was told it was a family business.  

Going through grandma and grandpa's papers after they died I found this old business card from the Ames Bros.  The Ames Bros talked about here are James Ames and Otis Ames.  They worked together for many years in Oakdale, California.  They were well known well and water men in the area.

First Outdoor Christmas Tree

The first outdoor Christmas tree in Oakdale, California was widely used to promote the wonderful California climate. 

 This is a portrait of the O.J. and J.B. Ames families at the homestead located in the countryside outside Oakdale with their first outdoor Christmas tree. The photo was used nationwide to showcase the mild winters in California. In this moment captured in 1902 the Ames children were not happy about being out in the cold to document their family for history.

Two Ames brothers migrated over from Maine and met two McDaniel sister is Oakdale, California and married.  The two families lived next door to each other for many years and also worked together during this time.  In this picture Otis Jackman Ames and his wife Rosa Beatrice Ames are on the right and his brother's family, James Buchanan Ames and wife Sarah Ellen Ames are on the left.  

Otis Jackman and Rosa Beatrice Ames are my great-grandparents.  My grandpa Edward Jackman Ames was born in 1916, fourteen years after this picture was taken.
