Frodo is Bilbo's nephew, but they are also first and second cousins. Frodo is (I think) Bilbo's sister's son, but he shares the same surname, so his father must have been a Baggins too. But Frodo is part Brandywine? Bilbo is unmarried and has no children, but has close relations who are Sackville-Baggins.

Confused yet? I know I am!!
Okay If I get this right then do I win anything cuz what you said confused me a bit okay here's what the explaination I thought was there: Bilbo and Frodo were cousins but he adopted Frodo as his nephew so that Frodo could be the heir of all his belongings.

That's what I thought before trying to understand this thread. Am I wrong? anyway we need a picture.

The Appendix to 'Return of the King' has three different trees drawn, but I can only see the cousin relationship clearly in them, the adoption idea must be right.

Scanning them is not the problem, reducing the file size to 40Kb and still being able to read the text is. These are almost illegible, sorry!

This one shows how Bilbo and Frodo are second cousins.
