Hi,

Some months ago I received this puzzle, but I never saw an answer. Can
somebody supply the correct answer.

WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP?

Mary, Hannah, and Deborah were sisters.

Elizabeth and Joseph were Mary's children; David was Hannah's son; and
Dorothy was Deborah's daughter.

David married Elizabeth and Joseph married Dorothy. Thus, siblings each
married first cousins, and their two spouses otherwise also were first
cousins to each other. David Jr. was born of one marriage and James was
born of the other.

What name is to be given to the relationship between David Jr. and James?

(Is it a trick question? I actually have a similar situation in one of
my lines!)

Thanks!
