Best Answer

When relatives are "twice removed" from each other, it means that they are two generations separated from one other. Cousins can be once remove, twice removed or any other number of times removed. If two brothers each have a son, one named Joe and the other named Charles, Joe and Charles are first cousins. Charles' son and Joe are first cousins once removed and Charles' grandson and Joe are first cousins twice removed. If Joe has a son named Jimmy, Charles' son and Jimmy are second cousins, and Charles' grandson and Jimmy are second cousins, once removed.

== No, a first cousin twice removed is a fairly close relative from a genetics perspective. The grandchild of your first cousin would be this relative. == Whether any particular cousin is a distant relative or a near relation is mostly a matter of how you and your family choose to define the terms. Some families have no knowledge of the grand children of their cousins and consider them distant relatives. Some families see them every day and consider them close relations.
