    Generation 1: Siblings

    Generation 2: 1st cousins

    Generation 3: 2nd cousins

    Generation 4: 3rd cousins ***

    Generation 5: 4th cousins

    Generation 6: 5th cousins

    Generation 7: 6th cousins

    Generation 8: 7th cousins ***

    The people in generation 4 are 4 generations removed from the people in generation 8. That makes them 3rd cousins 4 times removed to each other.
