    Actually, your cousin's child and your parents' cousin are both your "first cousin, once removed", meaning that your closest ancestor is the grandparents of one of the two of you, and you're one generation apart.

    Second cousins are persons that have the same great-grandparents, but not the same grandparents.

    your 3ND cousins or uncles && aunt

    its complicated but my mom explained it

    see your moms cousins end up beinq like her brother && sisters ( highpothetically ) so uncles && aunts

    blood relation is 2nd cousin

    now your cousins child is your 2nd cousin becuase your cousin is your 1st cousin or your niece && nephews

    Example : i call my moms cousin John uncle

    && i call his kids my 3rd cousins.

    i call my cousins child Donovan my 2nd cousin or my nephew depnds

    in all your still family && tahts all that matters
