Hi all. My father had a son by another relationship. This son had a daughter and a son. What relationship would this son and daughter be to me please?

Hope this makes sense?

Regards,

Kathryn

Your fathers son is your half brother so his children would be your ( half ) nephews and nieces.

Thank you for this. I thought they would be cousins, but what do I know!!!!

It’s the half bit that throws you.

If it was your grandfathers child, not your fathers, then they would be cousins.

Thanks again. Another scenario. If the son was from my Uncle (one of my father's brothers) then would his children be cousins?

Your uncles children are your first cousins.

Google for Relationship charts - there are several designs. I thought there was one on here but can’t find it.

Thank you again. I'll have a nose round for a Relationship Chart. I do recall a long time ago coming across one somewhere.
