[net.tv.soaps] GH - cousins or not?

Are Jimmy-Lee and Celia half-cousins or not?  Celia is Edward Quartermaine's
niece, and Jimmy-Lee is Edward's illegitimate son.  Doesn't that make Celia
and Jimmy-Lee half-cousins, or is my information mixed up.  No one has ever
mentioned this on the show.

Jimmy-Lee and Celia are cousins once removed (whatever that means). I saw
this on one episode where Lila was explaining to Edward, Monica, and Alan
that their marriage (Celia & Jimmy-Lee) would be perfectly acceptable and it
could not be considered incest.
