EXAMPLE: A "first cousin" is
your relationship to your parent's niece or nephew, because you are both
grandchildren of a common ancestor. |
Your relationship to your cousin's child is "first cousin
once removed", because you added one generation to the relationship. |
However, the relationship between your child and your
first-cousin-once-removed would be "second cousin", because they
are both great-grandchildren of a common ancestor. |
The chart can be expanded for as many generations as necessary. |
