What county?

That's done at the county level & you didn't mention your county

Depends on your county - you have to be a resident for at least 12 months

For example

In Franklin county it's $108 plus the cost of the newspaper announcement - which has to be published 30 days prior to court hearing.

Then you have the cost of a new drivers licence or ID card

You have to change your vehicle registration too & that will cost

You also have to notify SSA - but they don't charge a fee

You can check at the office of your county probate judge

I'll let you look up the rest; no sense in my having all the fun. The site is free, although they will tempt you with offers. You have to scroll ALL the way down, past many tempting offers, after your first look-up, to enter another name.

You are two relations; half siblings and full first cousins. (Many people here argue with the term "half-cousin", but if children of siblings are full first cousins, children of half-siblings are half first cousins. Precision counts as much in genealogy as it does in Swiss watches.)

Lots of people have two relations; my brothers are also my 4th, 5th and sixth once removed cousins. I'm those cousins to myself, too.

Unless you're bragging at the genealogy clubhouse, you drop all but the closest relation, and, if you get along, you drop the "half", as in "Ralph, I'd like you to meet my sister, Matilda..."

A census records the people who are living in that home on census night, so the same person will not be living in several homes on the same night, given/surnames are not unique, lots of people use the same names and lots are born in the same area around the same time........ however census are secondary records, not primary, they are very useful but don't prove anything in isolation, you also need to look for other records ideally primary records to cross reference and prove the people.

What most people now think of as census records are the transcriptions online, they are not even secondary records, so make sure you at least look at the image of census sheet itself.
