does anyone understand what second cousins are and what removed means? :think:

what is millie to my cousins, and what are they to her? if my cousins hav children what would they be to millie?

thx in advance! x
 
Second cousins are you cousins kids i think. :think:
So millie is second cousin to your cousin

I've never understood the whole removed thing?
:?
 
I think that 1st cousins are then your babies 2 cousins and then their children are 3rd cousins etc etc, so your parents 1st cousins are your 2nd cousins and your childs 3rd cousins :think: :think: :think:
I dunno what the 'removed' bit is either
 

you + your parents' neices/nephews = 1st cousins

your children + your 1st cousins = 1st cousins once removed (i.e. removed by 1 generation)

your grandchildren + your 1st cousins = 1st cousins twice removed (i.e. removed by two generations)

your great grandchildren + your 1st cousins = 1st cousins three times removed (i.e. removed by three generations)


and it works vice versa, so:

you + your 1st cousins' children = 1st cousin once removed




your children + your first cousins' children = 2nd cousins (as they are both the same generation, but are not first cousins)

your grandchildren + your first cousins' grandchildren = 3rd cousins


so your children + your 1st cousin's grandchildren, would be 2nd cousins once removed, for example.

hope this helps :)
 
I have been wondering this to as my cousin has a daughter who is 8 weeks older than my son.

Thanks for the answer :)
