It's probably a daft question, however I asked quite a few people and they have no idea at all. So, can someone please explain what relation a 2nd Cousin actually is. |

Have a look at: www.rhodesfamily.org.uk/people/relationship.html 2nd cousins will share the same greatgrandparents. |

2nd cousins have parents who are siblings, and a set of grandparents in common. Janice |

No. You're children would be your cousin's childrens' 2nd cousins. It's the "once removed" bit you'd need! |

Great fun reading all that. Another great relationship chart can be found at http://lewisgenealogy*com/relate.html (replace * with .) All you have to do is join the dots. LOL Actually it goes to 8th Cousins, but its easy to add more. |
