Relationships - EASY Way to Figure Out

So this is always a conundrum for people. "How are my Aunt's kids related to me, or to my kids?"

1st cousins share a grandparent.
2nd cousins share a great grandparent.
3rd cousins share a great great grandparent.
4th cousins share a great great great grandparent. Etc.


'Removed' refers to the number of generations between the cousins themselves.
So your 1st cousin, once removed, is the parent or child of your 1st cousin.
Your 2nd cousin, once removed, is the parent or child of your 2nd cousin.

Your 1st cousin, twice removed, refers to the grandparent or grandchild of your 1st cousin.

Clear as mud? Haha
