Hello to everyone who posted in answer to my queeries, first of all thankyou very much. i have managed to delete the bookmarks now after reading the replies, i realised i didnt need them as they were also in threads. what a dope lol. i think i will stick at 2nd cousins it sounds nicer and closer. once removed makes it sound like you dont belong. anyway, thankyou all once again.
luv helen xx
