Definitions: What is a Second Cousin? What is a First Cousin Once-Removed?
A child of one person and a sibling’s child are first cousins.
The children of two first cousins share a second-cousin relationship.
Two people for whom a first-cousin relationship is one generation removed are first cousins once removed.
Closing Thoughts
The relationships between blood relatives are unique. The relationship becomes much more vital if you spend some time growing up with them. Just like your sibling, this is one relationship that can last a lifetime.
But there is still some difference between a cousin and any other relationship in your family. Your aunt or uncle’s kids understand you like a friend while also being family.
So, make their birthdays special with a thoughtful message.
