first cousins share a grandparent.. second cousins share a great grandparent. you find the common grandparent then for each generation you are 'off' - Andie Sep 20, 13:12 2
- ty doesn't share a grandparent with these folks ... the grandmother came to the US. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:13 1
  - *sigh* you go back to the common grandparent (or great, or great great) - it doesn't matter where you fall on the line. - Andie Sep 20, 13:28
sorry, I agree with znu. The father's cousins are ty's first cousins once removed. The children are his second cousins. -- nm - loosilu Sep 20, 13:11 2
- oh, sorry, i actually agree, i thought i read 'the child of your first cousin is your second cousin.' -- nm - Andie Sep 20, 13:13 1
