What does it mean if someone says “We’re _____ cousins, twice removed”?
In: Other
Cousins are based on generations.
Your first cousin is your regular cousin(your mom/dad’s siblings child).
When you are your cousin both have children, those children are second cousins. If THOSE kids have kids, those kids will be THIRD cousins to each other.
Removed is when you are on different generations. So if your cousin has a child, YOUR relationship to that child is 1st cousin once removed. Your relationship to your cousins grandchild is 1st cousin twice removed.
So, if your cousin has a child and you have a grandchild, the relationship between those kids would be second cousins once removed.
