To be a third cousin of someone means that one of your great grandparents was the brother or sister of one of the other's great grandparents.

To be a third cousin twice removed means that either:

  • you are the grandchild of the other person's third cousin. or
  • the other person is the grandchild of your third cousin.

If you and another person are cousins of each other, you share a common ancestor. If you and that other person are not of the same generation, counting generations from your common ancestor, your cousin relationship involves a removal. If you are separated from your cousin by one generation (counting from that common ancestor), then you are "once removed." If your separation is two generations, then you are "twice removed." For example, You and your First Cousin share a grandparent as a common ancestor. You and your Second Cousin share a great grandparent as a common ancestor. * You and the child of your First Cousin are First Cousins, once removed. * You and the child of your Second Cousin are Second Cousins, once removed. * You and the grandchild of your First Cousin are First Cousins, twice removed. * You and the grandchild of your Second Cousin are Second Cousins, twice removed.

You are "directly related" to every cousin who really is a cousin, that is, who shares an ancestor with you. Your first cousin twice removed is either the grandchild of your first cousin or the first cousin of your grandparent.

It means that the two individuals are out of synch by one or two generations from the common ancestor. The grandparent of one is the great grandparent of another.
