What is my first cousin, twice removed?
When you start getting into first cousins removed or twice removed you have got to think about how the family tree extends out and back down again. Your first cousin is going to be the brother or sister of your uncle and aunt. If you then having them have children it is removed of one generation, it is one generation down. Second cousins, you need to go across another level and down again. It does become very complicated, and the best thing to do is to look at charts and organizational diagrams that show you because otherwise it is going to get quite tricky. In many cases, the further back you go, the more removed you are going to be from that actual generation.
