If you look at the chart on http://lewisgenealogy(.)com/relate.html it explains relationships clearly. Quite handy to print off for future reference too. Carole

They are removed by being in a different generation - so your first cousin's son is your first cousin once removed

Hi Maggie It means the difference in generations. So one difference in generation would be once removed. Jeanette x

It refers to the generations so you and your cousins children would be first cousins once removed. Paula

I understand what 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins etc. are but can anyone tell me what it means when they're referred to as 'removed', please? Thanks. Maggie
