Your first cousin is someone who has the same grandparent as you have, i.e. someone who is the child of the brother or sister of one of your parents.
If you and another person are first cousins, once removed, one of you is the child of the first cousin of the other.
Said another way, my first cousin has a daughter. That daughter is my first cousin once removed. My first cousin's grandchild is my first cousin twice removed.

∙ 12y agoYour first cousin is the child of your aunt or uncle. That person is the same generation as you, when counting generations from your common grandparents.
A first cousin once removed is one generation different from you, counting from the common ancestor. One twice removed is two generations separated.
So, your first cousin twice removed is either the grandchild of your first cousin or the first cousin of one of your grandparents.

What does term once removed mean?
When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship. The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed". Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

How can your mother's first cousin be your cousin once removed but also a cousin by marriage is also a cousin once removed?
Your mother's first cousin is always your first cousin, once removed. That is at the core of what first cousins and removed cousins are. That relationship will never change; your mother's first cousin will always be your first cousin, once removed. The term "cousin by marriage" is relatively new and undefined, and for many it really does not mean anything. Some people use the term to refer to someone who has married a cousin. In that sense, if someone marries your "first cousin once removed," that person would be your "first cousin once removed by marriage." It is completely incorrect to claim that someone who marries your first cousin is your "first cousin once removed" simply because of that marriage.
