How is ths person related to me??

Question

My father's sister's daughter's daughter?

I have tried to work it out myself by searching for answers on what "first/second..etc cousin once/twice...etc removed means but just CANNOT understand it :(

Answer 1

2nd cousin.

Answer 2

Second cousin is wrong. Second cousins are children of first cousins.

Your father's sister ("Alice") is your aunt.

Her daughter ("Barbara") is your first cousin.

HER daughter ("Charlotte") is your first cousin once removed.

When (if) you have a child (Zebidiah), he will be second cousin to Charlotte.

Removeds come in when people are in different generations.

Answer 3

2nd cousin.. Your dad's sister would be your aunt her daughter would be your first cousin her daughter would be your second.

Answer 4

She would be your second-cousin.

Answer 5

Your father's sister's daughter is your first cousin.  Therefore her daughter would be your first cousin once removed, not your second cousin.

Answer 6

I don`t know

Answer 7

2nd cousin

Answer 8

Your father's sister would be your aunt, her daughter would be your 1st cousin, and her daughter would be your 2nd cousin!

Answer 9

I believe she would be your 2nd cousin

Answer 10

She is your first cousin once removed.

Answer 11

Siblings share parents.. your father/sister are siblings (she is your aunt)

1st cousins share grandparents .. that is, your aunt's daughter and you are first cousins.

2nd cousins share the same gr grandparents.. YOUR CHILD and your first cousin's child would be 2nd cousins.  

3rd cousins have the same gr gr grandparents.

All of the above are of the SAME generation (from the common ancestor).

YOU and your 1st cousin's daughter are NOT the same generation. (you may be close in age, but that is not the issue).

Your 1st cousins child is ONE (generation) 'REMOVED' .. 1st cousin, once removed.

Picture a ladder.. a frame style.. at the top is the common ancestor (your grandparent is shared).  Come down each side of the ladder..the steps are levels.

Removed is when YOU are 2 steps down from the ancestor, and the other person is NOT 2 steps down.. they are either more steps down or up.

Your fathers sister is the same as your aunt. Her daughter's daughter is her grandchild.

Her grandchild is not your second cousin.
