Yes...They are a generation away from being 1st cousins so are your 1st cousins once removed.

If you had children, your children would be 2nd cousins to your cousin's children

Hi David

You find a common ancestor then consider the generations in each branch as a ladder. Your cousin would be on the same rung as you, their children a rung below so once removed, their grandchildren 2 rungs below you so twice removed.
