    It’s not hard.

    Cousin # = # of generations back to your shared direct ancestor - 1.

    So if you share a grandparent (2 generations away), you’re 1st cousins.

    removed is how many generations away you are from each other.

    So if your parent is first cousins with someone, you’re first cousins once removed. You’re second cousins to their kids. You’re second cousins once removed to their children.
