I don’t expect to get one definite answer here, but Google can’t give me one either. Some websites say they’re your second cousin, and others say they’re your first cousin once removed. I’m trying to figure out some family tree stuff so I need to know the difference between the (groups of) terms.
I usually refer to this chart :)
Holy shit…I always thought the phrase “second cousin twice removed” meant they were your cousin’s cousin on the other side of their family, and the twice removed meant they did something awful, was removed from the family. Then was forgiven, brought back into the family, and fucked up again. So now they’re your second cousin…twice removed.
Ah so second cousins are in the same generation. I have two first cousins twice removed (children of grandparents sibling) who I always though were second cousins. Now I get the term. If either of them have children, those would be second cousins.
Yeah this was always confusing to me because my Dads cousins were closer in age to me, so “second cousin” always seemed to make sense.

Harold, :p
First cousin once removed.
Maybe the websites saying “second cousin” are actually talking about the children of two first cousins?
I have several first cousins I’d like to have removed. But I’ve always known their kids as my second cousins.
