Basically First cousins mean you have the same grandparents, but twice removed means there's TWO generations between you. So they are much older or much younger than you. see related links. Whether that is a close or distant cousin relationship is a matter of opinion and circumstance.

A second cousin once removed is the great-great grandchild of your great grandparent. A first cousin twice removed is the great-great grandchild of your grandparent. So the first cousin twice removed is more closely related to you.

You are more closely related to your first cousin once removed than to your second cousin, but it has nothing to do with your blood.

Yes, you have a genetic relationship to any cousin, first, second, etc., once, twice or fifteen times removed. The bigger numbers merely mean your relationship is more distant.

Who is a distant cousin and who is a close cousin depends on your own definitions, what circumstances you are talking about, and how much contact there have been between them.

The grandchild of your first cousin would be this relative. == Whether any particular cousin is a distant relative or a near relation is mostly a matter of how you and your family choose to define the terms.

Is a first cousin a blood relative?

All cousins are so-called "blood relatives." This applies to first cousins, to fifth cousins, to second cousins twice removed and to sixth cousins ten times removed. Being cousins of any sort means you and they are descended for some common ancestor somewhere. 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."

It is wrong only if you, or your parents, think it is wrong. Close cousins date frequently and even marry. Legally, most states allow second cousins to marry.Those who believe in the Bible believe that everyone is descended from Adam and Eve, and also from Noah and his family. For them, everyone is a distant cousin, but that does not seem to interfere in dating.
