	Here's an example: My first cousin's child is my first cousin once removed. My first cousin's grandchild is my first cousin twice removed. However my child and my first cousin's child are second cousins. They are of the same generation, hence they are not "removed", but their common ancestors are their great-grandparents which is why they are second cousins.

	Hello, I have found a cousin on my tree and I've checked and it says 1st cousin 1 time removed What is the difference between 1st cousin 1 time removed and a 2nd cousin Regards
