== No, a first cousin twice removed is a fairly close relative from a genetics perspective. 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. Some families have no knowledge of the grand children of their cousins and consider them distant relatives. Some families see them every day and consider them close relations.

Are Winston churchill and roosevelt cousins?

Actually, they were cousins, albeit distant ones. According to genealogists, Winston Churchill and FDR were seventh cousins once removed on FDR's mother's side. I don't know what this means so please don't ask. ----------- I don't know anything about FDR being related to Churchill but I can explain how based on the other answer. A cousin is someone whose bloodline relative you share is a Grandparent. A second cousin is someone whose bloodline relative you share is your Great-Grandparent. When a relative is "removed" it means that you are separated by a generation. EX: My Father's first cousin's children are my second cousins. The same man is also my first cousin once removed. We are both direct descendants of my Great-Grandfather, but we are in "removed" generations. SO--- FDR and Churchill have very a distant relative and are, somehow, separated by one generation.

Distant.


Is your first cousin twice removed a distant or close cousin accoording to genetics?

You share one of your grandparents with your first cousin, twice removed. From the point of view of your first cousin twice removed, the ancestor shared with you is his or her great great grandparent. Since you have 4 grandparents, you have received roughly 1/4 of your genetic heritage from each one. Since your cousin twice removed has 16 great great grandparents, he or she has received 1/16th of his genetic heritage from the one she shares with you. So almost 94% of your twice removed cousin's genetic heritage is from ancestors not related to you. And 75% of your genetic heritage is from ancestors not related to your twice removed cousin. This is a relatively distant relationship, although many others are even more distantly related than that.
