So say you have a relative where your Dad and their Dad are first cousins. Does that make them first cousin once removed or your second cousin? Or are they the same thing lol.
Also say you meet relatives who were like your Grandma's first cousins kids - are they literally barely related at all? And would they be first cousins twice removed?
I have a massive extended family so I come across these situations and it's hard to work out how you link and what the terms are for it.
I'm not close to them or anything - I think with family first cousins are about as close as I actively stay in touch with. I know some people who don't even keep it touch with their first cousins at all.
Do you bother with any family after the immediate?
