First cousin

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Jose Rizal and Leonor Rivera cannot be first cousins. None of Rizal's parents were the brother or sister of either of Leonor's parents, Antonio Rivera and Sylvestra Bauzon. Rizal and Leonor Rivera are second cousins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.205.221.146 (talk) 13:47, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I agree. I have removed the first cousin assertion. Lineage, Life, and Labors of Jose Rizal, Philippine Patriot (1913) by Austin Craig names Antonio Rivera (the father of Leonor Rivera) as a cousin of Rizal's father, Francisco Mercado.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 15:14, 3 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
