Collateral degrees, how reckoned
Official statutory text
In the collateral line the degrees are counted by generations,
from one of the relations up to the common ancestor, and from the
common ancestor to the other relations. In such computation the
decedent is excluded, the relative included, and the ancestor
counted but once. Thus brothers are related in the second degree,
uncle and nephew in the third degree, cousins german in the fourth
degree, and so on. R.L. 1910, Sec. 8426.
