    Edit. I understand now, thanks.


    What is a second cousin? Your cousins cousin? The person your aunt/uncle marrieds niece/nephew? That can’t be right, that’s not blood. Help! Lol

        Then its not even an issue at all from a genetic standpoint. People might find their relationship weird but their children would turn out healthy.

        Meanwhile the Chinese need a calculator to find out what to call their father’s sister’s daughter’s husband’s father

          And Koreans. I don’t know much about Chinese, but in Korea it also matters whether you’re a boy or girl in what you call your relation.

      My aunt’s kid is my cousin. My cousin’s kid and my kid are second cousins.

      It’s essentially finding the most recent common ancestor. My cousins and I share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents, and so on.

      “Once removed” and such refers to generational differences. So, my first cousin’s kid is my first cousin once removed, and my kid’s second cousin.

      I’m pretty sure it’s the children of your parent’s cousins

      What is a second cousin?

      Someone with whom your most recent common ancestor is a great grandparent to both of you.

      Like how a first cousin is someone with whom your most recent common ancestor is a grandparent to both of you (aka you both have a same grandparent but not a same parent - meaning one of each of your parents are siblings with each other).

      If the most recent common ancestor isn’t the same relation for both of you, then there’s probably a “times removed” or one of you is some variety of aunt/uncle to the other.
