        People like you are why vampires are almost extinct. Be considerate and share a little.

      Dude second cousin in my country is a cousin from the part not related to any of my parents of one of my cousins. What is weird of that?

      For example, my cousin is one of my father’s brother son, then my second cousin has to be (otherwise would be a cousin too) the daughter of the cousin’s mother’s brother.

          Earliest common ancestor is great-grandparent. With same number intermediaries for both people.

          n^th cousin is how many “g’s” in the title of the earliest common ancestor. Grandparent == one “g” = first cousin. Two gs, second cousin, etc.

          “Removed” is the offset value, or the difference between how many intermediaries between the two parties and their earliest common ancestor.

            Well yes, but ‘second cousin’ with no qualifiers implies we’re talking about zero times removed. The more salient point I was trying to make was that yes, second cousins share blood
