> wth does “first cousin once removed” even mean? First cousin means they share a grandparent, second cousin means they share a great-grandparent, etc. Once removed means they’re offset by 1 generation, so one person’s grandparent is the other’s great-grandparent. There is a directionality; the person who is “once removed” is the one whose parent is first cousins with other other person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin
