    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.

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.

We don't do that once, twice, thrice removed, 2nd cousin thing at all. Ain't nobody got time for that. lol

    Simple. The first generation of grandchildren are first cousins. The second generation of grandchildren are second cousins. And so on. Removed is the difference in generations.

      @@christelheadington1136 I know that. If your son has a child, that child will be a first cousin once removed from your nephew. If your nephew also has a child, the nephew's child will be your son's first cousin once removed. Those two children of your son and nephew will be second cousins to each other

      @@haimeda361 Let's break this down and then we can figure out how you're related. Okay, first of all your father's mother is your paternal grandmother. 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.

    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.

      KosukiFire it's legal to marry your second cousin but I recommend not to. It is disgusting because it's too close to be married. Your grandparent and grandaunt or uncle would probably feel awkward about it too knowing their grandchild is married to their siblings grandchild
