Best Answer

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.
