A second cousin is one of your parents' cousins.  I've always considered mine to be more like aunts and uncles.  A fifth cousin is really removed, I don't think I know my fifth cousins.  My grandma told me during the olympcs a long time ago that one of the swimmers was my fourth cousin and I didn't know him at all.

I suspect where depends on who you ask and for what reason. But I personally say it ends with first cousins. Anything further than a first cousin would be fair game.

Everyone so far seems to have it right.\nYou and your cousin's children are cousins once-removed.\nYou and your cousin's grand children are twice-removed.\n\nAnd to add a little more:\nYour children and your sibling's children are first cousins\nYour children and your cousin's children are second cousins

It depends on where you live and how close of a family member to which you are referring. In most states of the United States (or maybe all of them, I'm not entirely sure), it is legal to marry, and have sex with, a second cousin or any relative of equal or greater distance, genetically speaking.\n\nA second cousin is the offspring of a cousin.\n\nEthicality is up to personal interpretation.

Well, I'm kind of worried that you mentioned your job as an Assistant Professor in Veterinary College, but you don't know how to calculate an inbreeding coefficient.\n\nAnyway, second cousin is usually unrelated enough. But go back in your family trees, and I'll bet you have many more relatives in common. Should that be the case, your children have a slightly higher chance of having birth defects. \n\nSupposedly, if two unrelated people in a population have an X percent chance of having a defective child, then first cousins have a 8/5X (1.6X) chance of having a defective child. Such defects occur in the low single digits anyway.

Your mother's first cousin's grandchild is your 2nd cousin once removed. Draw a family tree starting with the common ancestor at the top, and keep each succeeding generation on the same level, or distance from the common ancestor. Blood relatives on the same horizontal level (other than siblings, which are the first level from the common ancestor) are numbered cousins, with no 'removal' involved. The 'removed' part comes into play when one is removed from an equal level fo cousinship (cousintry ?). Thus the children of first cousins are 2nd cousins, and their children are 3rd cousins to each other. The child of one's numbered cousin is one's numbered cousin once removed. In the example you gave, your mother's first cousin's child ( the parent of the aforementioned grandchild) is your 2nd cousin, but your mother's first cousin, once removed [from her(your mother's) first cousin]. Another way to check is to count the number of generations back to the common ancestor. If two people have the same number, then the following applies:\n1 generation removed = siblings\n2 generations removed = 1st cousins\n3 generations removed = 2nd cousins

The children, even though they are cousins, will be as related as full siblings. But they will not be anymore identical than regular brothers and sisters.

first cousin once removed.  You and your mom's cousin's child would be second cousins.
