Not necessarily; it depends on whether you are cousins on the same side
of the family. For example, the children of my mother's sister are my
cousins and the children of my mother's sister's husband are cousins to
her own children, but they have no blood relationship to me.

I also have Roger G T Murray in my tree; I believe he is my 4th cousin
twice removed through his mother, Uneta THORBURN. I would appreciate a
look at the .pdf file, and contact with anyone else who has a
connection. I'll happily share what information I have of the earlier
generations on the THORBURN side.
