What do “second cousin” and “once removed” mean?

The number says how far back you share family. The word “removed” says how many generations apart you are.

First cousins	You share grandparents. One of your parents is a brother or sister of one of theirs.
Second cousins	You share great-grandparents. One of your parents is a first cousin of one of theirs.
Third cousins	You share great-great-grandparents. One of your parents is a second cousin of one of theirs.
Once removed	One generation apart. Your parent’s first cousin is your first cousin once removed. So is your first cousin’s child.
Twice removed	Two generations apart. Your grandparent’s first cousin, or your first cousin’s grandchild.
