Only 1 of them makes sense to me, but it's nice for the people who need a different style to actually understand the chart.

    I tried to explain this to a coworker once. He had been talking about his family and was unsure how to label a distant cousin. When I got to the term "once removed", he said "No, that 'removed' stuff is just for when somebody divorces out of the family" I gave up after that.

      Well, they didn't explain double cousins lol. It happens when two sets of siblings marrying each other. So, let's say Bob and Jon are full brothers and they marry June and Mary who are full sisters. If both marriages end up with children then they are double cousins (and genetically are similar to half siblings). Most countries that allow first cousins to marry (aka most nations) have provisions preventing double first cousins from doing so. If one Jon and Bob are identical twins then the cousins are genetically 3/4 siblings (and would could pass themselves of as full siblings on genetic tests) and if both Jon/Bob and Mary/June are identical twins then the cousins are indistinguishable from full siblings.
      The are other things like double second cousins which gets more complicated to describe without drawing a family tree.

      Garrett Chollett, the simplification actually is correct. Your parent's sibling is your aunt or uncle. That person's kids are your [first] cousins. Likewise, your parent's parent's [your grandparen's] sibling is your parent's aunt or uncle. That person's kids are your parent's [first] cousins. This makes those kids your first cousins once removed. Any of that person's kids [your generation] are your second cousins.

      No, that number doesn't appear to be record-breaking. It comes from long times in the frontier of the US expansion, from the large families that farmers had to have to work their farms. Consider: at every generation there are two times as many direct ancestors then there were in the previous. For every one of those you get twice as many aunts, uncles and cousins who are not direct ancestors, but who you might want to record if it is important to know that information at a later time, and it's all right there in front of you for the picking. At ten generations back from today - say, 1720 or so, there were 1,024 direct ancestors. My family had 5 sibliings; this is at the low end of average size for my ancestors, so that's at least about 5000 people in the tree at that point. Some branches disappear from lack of knowledge or simple lack of marriage/kids, but that is more than compensated for by the others, and 10 generations back is by no means far. My great grandfather had 16 children in two more-or-less distinct families, and he's not the record holder in my tree.
      An interesting point - I saw an article in National Geographic where some scientists had winnowed through the family trees in geni.com and developed a unified tree for demographics research with 13 million members.

    In my language (Sindhi) you have different names for all aunts, uncles and cousins. For example brother of my mother and father, and husbands of my father's sister and mother's sister (that's 4 men) have all different names specific to their relationship (not generic word uncle) their wives and children also have specific names assigned to their relationship.
    So while English has 3 words (uncle aunt and cousin) we have 16 distinct words for them.

Second, your mother's mother is your maternal grandmother. Your maternal grandmother's aunt is your maternal great great aunt. So she related to you on both sides of the family tree. On your father's side, she is your grandmother and on your mother side, she is your great great aunt.

      The first, second, third part is how many generations the two of you are away from your most recent common ancestor (using the one closest). The once, twice, three times removed part is how many generations you are away from each other. First cousins are two generations away from their most recent common ancestor (grandparents). Both of them are the same number of generations away from that ancestor, so they are the same generation. They are zero generations away from each other, so nothing "removed". The most common recent ancestor you share with your cousins kids would be your grandparents, their great-grandparents. You are closer, so you use your "name" for the type of cousins (first) and you are 2 generations away while they are 3 generations away, so once removed, ergo your cousin's kids are your first cousins once removed.
      For more complicated ones, just make a tree until you can trace back each of you to your most recent common ancestor. Count how many generations you each are from that common ancestor. Use the lower number for the first, second, third part (first cousins are two generations away, second cousins are three, and so on). Then take the difference in the number of generations you each are away, and that's the once removed, twice removed part. So, if you have a cousin and your great great great grandparents are their great great grandparents, then that common ancestor is 5 generations away from you and 4 generations away from them. You use the lower number, so 4 and the difference in your generations is one, so you are third cousins once removed. You've probably never met this person - nor do you even know they exist by the way. In fact, you probably don't even share any DNA with them either :)
