What is your cousin's child to you? Your cousin's child is your first cousin once removed.
Let's break down this family relationship terminology:
-
Cousin: This refers to the child of your parent's sibling (brother or sister).
-
Once Removed: This indicates a generation difference. Because your cousin's child is one generation below your cousin, they are "once removed" from you.
Therefore, combining these terms, your cousin's child is your first cousin once removed. This means you share a common ancestor (your grandparent), but you are not in the same generation.
