1Your parent’s first cousin is your own first cousin once removed, and that person’s child is your second cousin. Your grandparent’s first cousin is your own first cousin twice removed, and that person’s child is your second cousin once removed while their grandchild is in turn your third cousin. Easy peasy. Yes, we use them. – tchrist Jan 06 '13 at 17:35
