does anyone understand what second cousins are and what removed means? 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. 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 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
