Double first cousins arise when two siblings reproduce with another set of siblings and the resulting children are related to each other through both parents' families. Double first cousins share both sets of grandparents in common and have double the degree of consanguinity than ordinary first cousins. Double second cousins would be the children of double first cousins. Two cousins are removed when they are are a different number of generations from their shared ancestor. When that difference is one generation, they are once removed. For example, if Joe and Ethyl are first cousins and Ethyl has a son named Bob, then Joe and Bob are first cousins once removed. (But Bob and any of Joe's children are second cousins.) If Bob has a daughter named Mary, Joe and Mary are first cousins, twice removed, because they are two generations separated from each other.

Your second cousin is someone whose grandparent was the sibling of one of your parents.

A second cousin once removed is either:

  • the child of your second cousin, or
  • the second cousin of one of your parents.

Your first cousins are the children of your aunts and uncles.

Your second cousins are the grand children of you great aunts and great uncles.

Your third cousins are the great grandchildren of your great great aunts and great great uncles.

All of these are descended the same number of generations as you are from your great great grandparents.

The once or twice removed refers to other descendants who are more, or fewer, generations removed from that common ancestor. The child of your second cousin is one more generation from your common ancestor than you and your second cousin are, so you and that child are second cousins once removed to each other. The grandchild would be a second cousin twice removed.
