If your grandmother is someone else's great-grandmother, what does that make you and the someone else to one another?

What if the grandmother/great-grandmother had two husbands, and you're descended from one man and the someone else from the other?

Basically, yeah. Your first cousin's children will be your first cousins once removed. THEIR kids would be your first cousins twice removed. Your kids and your cousin's kids would be second cousins.

Oh... here, take a look at this table: http://www.borisbrooks.com/genealogy/cousins.htm

It gives a handy chart for figuring this sort of thing out.

Now that's a handy table! ::bookmarks:: I've always wondered what to call my cousin's kids. Well, "Conor" and "Erin" come to mind, since those are their names, but you know what I mean. :-)
