Answers for the beginner, the befuddled and anyone hitting a brick wall.
Kith and Kin A. A collateral relative is anyone who is not your ancestor. So your ancestors are your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., and your collateral relatives are cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, siblings, etc. A good resource on this subject is a book called Dozens of Cousins by Lois Horowitz (Ten Speed Press, $9.95).
—Sharon DeBartolo Carmack
