Fourth cousins are often regarded as distant cousins, since most people tend not to have a familial relationship with, or even know of, anyone more distantly related than second cousins. However, fourth cousins are in fact quite closely related, since an individual only has a handful of them compared with the rest of society, which is made up of all the more distant relations.

A fourth cousin is a very remote blood relative. Remember, if you trace back your ancestry far enough, you are related to everybody. The term cousin means that there is a pair of shared grandparents somewhere in the history of both individuals.

Yes, of course 4th cousins are related. The term "fourth cousin" describes that relationship. Fourth cousins are the great great grandchildren of two people who were siblings
