Hi there, here's a question if your cousin mam/woman has a child, what is that child to you, please can anyone tell me?
Thanx

First cousin once removed.
You are same generation as cousin, the removed is number of generations different to you.

Sorry do you mean if your cousin MAN/woman?
If so surely it's a second cousin rather than a first cousin? I'd guess anyway. I'm sure someone else who knows all the permutations will help soon.
:D

Your first cousin's child is your first cousin once removed, Keith is correct.

Your first cousin's child and your child are second cousins.

If you google relationship calculator, it comes up with various webpages that have tools to show how exactly you are related :-)
