What's a Cousin Twice Removed?

Since twice removed indicates a difference of two generations, your first cousin twice removed would be either your grandparent's first cousin or the grandchild of your first cousin (as you are two generations younger than your grandparent's first cousin and two generations older than your first cousin's grandchild).

What is a cousin 2 times removed?

If there is no “removed” in the relationship, it means you and your cousin are on the same generation. But if you are cousins twice removed, that means your cousin is either part of your grandparents' generation or your grandchildren's generation because they are two generations removed from you.

What does it mean when a relative is once or twice removed?

Cousins who are "once removed" have a one-generation difference. A first cousin of your father is your first cousin, once removed. First cousins once removed share anywhere from 220 to 680 centimorgans. Twice removed means that there is a two-generation difference between cousins.
