How are my child and my cousin's child related?

Question

I understand that my child and my cousin are "second cousins", but what are my child and his child to each other? And where do "twice removed" and "third cousins" come in?

Answer 1

The following is found at genealogy.com...It is a very clear explanation to me. Click on the link to find out more information.

Second Cousin Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you., but not the same grandparents.

Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, fourth cousins have the same great-great-great-grandparents, and so on.

Removed When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word "removed" is not used to describe your relationship.

The words "once removed" mean that there is a difference of one generation. For example, your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed. This is because your mother's first cousin is one generation younger than your grandparents and you are two generations younger than your grandparents. This one-generation difference equals "once removed."

Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference. You are two generations younger than a first cousin of your grandmother, so you and your grandmother's first cousin are first cousins, twice removed.

In my group of relatives, we say, "Family is family!"

Answer 2

Different people have different ways of stating it, but to some: You and your cousin are first cousins. (your parents are siblings). Your child and your cousin's child are second cousins. Your child is "first cousin once removed" to your cousin. Your child's child would be "first cousin twice removed" to your cousin. And, of course, your grandchild and your cousin's grandchild would be third cousins--but at that point, you could just say "related" and let it go at that.

Answer 3

Your child and your cousins child would be cousins once removed.

Answer 4

Your child and his/her child are third cousins.

For example:

My dad ---first cousins--- His cousin

me ---second cousins--- his son

my kid ---third cousins ---- his son's son

I don't get the once removed, but that's how we do it in our family.

Answer 5

Your child and you cousin's child are second cousins, the child of your child and the child of cousin's child or your grandchildren are third cousins.

Answer 6

we call this "third cousins" in the south. or the part i'm from at least =) i have a million "second cousins" and even more "third cousins"

Answer 7

We are not from the south. My family is filipino and we would call that third cousins.

Answer 8

my kid and my cousin are 2nd cousins
my cousins kids are my cousins once removed
so my kids and my cousins kids are 2nd cousins once removed.

We just call eachother cousin...too many of us to differentiate.
