Cousins

Mr Neil T put it to me yesterday that Bilbo & Frodo are cousins and not uncle and nephew as it says in the first book about them being cousin??

I think this is lies and haven't had a chance to look through the book to check but please reply to this with the correct info before he comes round today so I can grief him 🙂

Bilbo is 111 and frodo 33-ish, doubt they are even closely related?

cousins yeah

bilbo had many younger cousins his favourite of which was frodo

Correct he's not his uncle as he was a single child
he's rather a greagreatgrandcousin

Bilbo was the grandson of a brother of Frodo's great-grandfather

That's the baggins-connection

but theyre closer related over the Tooks, here Bilbo is Frodos granduncle or whatever you may call this

lol well in england we are lazy so if your not a grandad a grandmother an aunty or uncle or cousin you dont have an official title 😛

😄 ok... so they are related as not-officially-titled.... at least I didnt find another relation...

Drogo and Primula drowned, Frodo was an orphan and Bilbo took him in and blah blah blahb, they're cousins.

cousins? but - how?

I think that its quite normal to call anybody whos older than you and related "uncle" if theres no other word...

why dont we just call them room-mates 😛

Ok perfect 😄 roommates... okeeeeh... stepfather and -son...

✅ That would be best.

lol cheers, roommates shall do, I shall pas this information to Neil T

OmG!!!!! Thank you sooooo mutch!
I've looking for the script so long, and now I've found it!!!
Now, me, my sister and a friend are sitting reading it all.
Thank you again!

I have a name for them: Bum Chums...LOL

BTW: That was a joke 🙂

wasnt a very amusing joke,

Drogo & Primula were Bilbos cousin & second cousin, thus Frodo is Bilbos second and third cousin at the same time in the book.

in the film Bilbo is Frodos uncle as far as I can tell.

Queer as news from bree!
