Again with the KuK Austrian.
This sentence reads:
Ich ging auch Eislaufen und errinere mich noch an einen Gliedkusin, der mir das Tanzen am Eis beibringen wollte. Er war ein bisserl verschossen in mich.
And I was fooling myself that I spoke German! Sheesh.
Thanks again for your help.

Selected
cousin of second degree
The explanation for "Gliedcousine" as "Cousine zweiten Grades" is shown on the referenced web page; scroll down some 30-40% of its length or use the "Find" function of your browser. Google shows a few references to this term, with the various spellings (cousin/cousine, kusin/kusine), so it is rare these days.

Comment: "I have to go with the first one, mainly because of the peer comments from phil and Anne. I had never heard of 'second degree' and since this is more of an oral history, second cousin fits just fine.
Thanks."
