What are my cousins children called?
Are they also my cousins or nieces and nephews?

Re: What are my cousins children called?
Is that when the once or twice removed comes into play? I've never understood it either.

Re: What are my cousins children called?
I've always used 2nd cousins but I'm pretty sure that is wrong and there should be a x removed in there somewhere. I have "cousins" who are the great-great grandchildren of my aunt, I've got no idea what number that should be

Same here, the whole “removal” thing is incredibly confusing.

Re: What are my cousins children called?
I didn’t know about this until brother’s kids had kids before I did… I discovered they are first cousins once removed… but wait, does that make me their uncle once removed, or am I their grand uncle?
