Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 811 — Collateral Consanguinity Defined., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 811. Collateral Consanguinity Defined.
Collateral consanguinity is the relationship between people who
spring from a common ancestor, but are not in a direct line. The degree is
established by counting the generations from one relative up to the
common ancestor and from the common ancestor down to the other
relative. In such computation the first relative is excluded, the other
included, and the common ancestor counted but once. Thus, brothers are
related in the second degree, aunt and niece in the third degree, first
cousins (also known as cousins german) in the fourth degree, and so on.
