Is it possible to be cousin of somebody even if we don't have the same last names?

I have a third cousin grade but we dont even have the same last names, because my mother and her mother are cousins,but i have the last name of my father and the last name of my mother, the cousin of my mother has the same last name than my mother but is from her mother side, thats why her daughter doesnt have the same last names than me, so do you think will be still related. Well i hope not to confuse anybody.What do you think? tell me please thank you.

Answer #1

Yes,you can my last names Morton but i have cousins with Randle and Hooson and more because we have lot of females who went on to get married and have children with different last names :)

Answer #2

Yeah in marriage women change their last names

Answer #3

If your mom and her mom are first cousins then you two arent third cousins but are second cousins it doest matter what kind of cousin you are though your still cousins same last name or not.

Answer #4

Yea totally. If your aunt married someone and then took that persons last name and then had kids, you would have a cousin with a different last name than you.

Answer #5

Yes because say your moms last name was miller and that is her married name but her sisters married name is Johnson her childs last name will be Johnson and your last name will be miller and you are still cousins

Answer #6

Yes, I have a bunch of cousins that have a different last name, because if they are cousins from the mom side of the family, they might have the dad’s last name and stuff, or they can be second cousins, meaning that they come from a second generation from the mom’s side or the dad’s side, so yes you can.
