I THINK you are 2nd cousins; or is it 1st cousins, once removed?

This site explains it: http://www(.)genealogy(.)com/16_cousn.html?Welcome=1084565844 (remove ( ) first) A chart is near the bottom of the page, and I think it's easier to read than all of the text. Was I correct? (Now I'm curious) -- Actually, after looking at that chart (instead of my printout) I think you are 1st cousins, once removed. Margaret, have a WONDERFUL time meeting them. I met a 4th cousin (found him through GC) and couldn't have met a nicer person, nor had a better time talking to him.

According to my Family Historian software... You are 1st cousins once removed... providing your grandparent was a sibling of their parent. If your grandparent was a cousin of their parent, you are 2nd cousins twice removed. I think!
