If two related people are described as "Cousins, once removed" it means that one of them is one generation further removed from their youngest common ancestor than is the other.

If Joe and Jane are First Cousins, once removed, and their youngest common ancestor is Joe's grandfather, then that common ancestor is Jane's great grandfather.

If Joe and Jane are Second Cousins, once removed, and their youngest common ancestor is Joe's great grandfather, then that common ancestor is Jane's great great grandfather - and Jane's parent is Joe's Second Cousin.

A cousin relationship is "twice removed" if the two people are in different generations and one is the grandchild of the other's unremoved cousin.
