Could someone please explain it to me thanks : Tracey, : This means removed by one degree - usually refers to family relationships. : You cousin's children would be your cousins once removed; alternatively,
you parent's cousins would also be. : Gary Right, the children of your first cousin are your "first cousins
once removed." Removed one generation. Grandchildren of your first
cousin are your first cousins TWICE removed. You say what the relation
to the parent is and add how many generations removed. Now if you're talking about relatives on the same generational
level, it's siblings; their children are first cousins; grandchildren
are second cousins; great-grandchildren third cousins. And so forth NOW you also have relationships like "second cousins once removed."
If your father and another person are second cousins, you are the
person's second cousin once removed. Somewhere online there's a site that explains this. And I once
found an explanation under "cousins" in the encyclopedia.
