Count the number of generations back from yourself to the closest common ancestor that you share with the other person. Then count the number of generations back from the other person to the same common ancestor. If these two numbers are the same, then there is no "removed" part to the relationship - just subtract 1 from the number of generations to get the degree of cousinship (1st, 2nd, etc). |

The children of your parent's brothers and sisters are your first cousins |

I have program on my computer that tells me for example who is my 1st cousin, 1st cousin once removed or 1st cousin twice removed etc etc etc. Does anyone here know how I can work out who is who without the computer? What makes these people have the kinship they have to me. What makes them my 1st or 2nd cousin once/twice removed? Thank you |
