Best Answer

Two people are first cousins if they are the children of people who are siblings.

Two people are second cousins if they are the grandchildren of people who are siblings.

Third cousins are the great grandchildren of siblings.

It gets more complicated if the two people are members of different generations, but in general people are some sort of cousin to each otherif they have a common ancestor somewhere in their family heritage.
