Well now we might be opening up a can of worms. I've lived all my life
following what you just said. If a cousin of mine had a kid his kids
would call me Tio. BUT since starting genealogy I've heard that this is
technically not correct and that the rules in Mexico didn't allow for
this. So how can we find out what the "official" Mexico rules are for
relationships?
Just as a side note I have an 82 year old 2nd cousin once removed (he
and my dad would have been 2nd cousins) who is a Priest in Jerez,
Zacatecas. I would like to know the rules but regardless of the rules I
will never ever ever call this dear relative "Primo" . . .respect
screams out from the heavens for me to call him Tio and thats what I
call him: Tio Alberto Roman (Francisco Javier Roman; Julian Roman; Juan
Nepomuceno Roman; Jose Maria Roman).

In Mexico, when cousins have children, the children refer to the
adults as "tio" or "tia". When an uncle or aunt weds, their respective
spouse is referred to as "tio or tia" (politico (a)) also. The
"politica" makes reference to the fact that they are uncle or aunt by
marriage, not blood.
