Relationship terminology

["Deena Ortiz" <drortiz@...>]

       In a recent conversation, an adult relative of my husband (the son 
of my husband's cousin brother -- his first cousin, once removed in English) 
informed me that my husband was his tío.  I wasn't about to argue, but I 
don't think he is correct.  However, I do not know the terminology for 
Spanish genealogical relationships.
       Is there a publication that has it all laid out?  If it has already 
been discussed and is in the archives, I apologize for the query, and I'll 
look it up.
       In English, each succeeding generation is a new level of cousin --  
as long as both lines are represented, yours and your relative's.  If you 
reach the end of one line, the level of kinship (cousinship) stays the same, 
but the generation moves until the end of the other line is reached.  (I 
know -- that was a horrible explantion.)
Common Ancestor
Siblings
1st cousins
2nd cousins
3rd cousins
________________________
3rd cousin once removed (one generation removed)
3C 2R
3C3R, etc.


Thanks for your help.
