Best Answer

Your cousin once removed is the child of your cousin who is not described as removed, or the parent of your cousin who is not removed.

For example, your second cousin once removed is the child of your second cousin, or the parent of your third cousin, depending on which of you is in the older generation.

Cousins are relatives who are descended from the sibling of one of your ancestors.

A simple cousin (first cousin, second cousin, etc) is one who is as many generations removed from your ancestor's sibling as you are from your ancestor.

If you and a cousin are a different number of generations for that ancestor and sibling, then the number of generations different is the number of removes you are.

So the child of your cousin is the same kind of cousin but once removed. The grandchild is twice removed, etc.

Your first cousin once removed is the child of your first cousin or the parent of your second cousin.

Your second cousin once removed is the child of your second cousin or the parent of your third cousin.

Being once removed means that you was one generation different that that once removed cousin when you count the number of generations between each of you and the most recent ancestor you have in common.
