The two terms describe two different relationships.


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

Your second cousins are the grandchildren of your grandparents' brothers and sisters.

You have two kinds of first cousins, once removed.

  1. The child of the brother or sister of one of your grandparents is your first cousin, once removed. This person is first cousin to one of your parents.
  2. The child of your first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is the grandchild of the brother or sister of one of your parents.

How can your mother's first cousin be your cousin once removed but also a cousin by marriage is also a cousin once removed?

Your mother's first cousin is always your first cousin, once removed. That is at the core of what first cousins and removed cousins are. That relationship will never change; your mother's first cousin will always be your first cousin, once removed. The term "cousin by marriage" is relatively new and undefined, and for many it really does not mean anything. Some people use the term to refer to someone who has married a cousin. In that sense, if someone marries your "first cousin once removed," that person would be your "first cousin once removed by marriage." It is completely incorrect to claim that someone who marries your first cousin is your "first cousin once removed" simply because of that marriage.
