Answer #4

it can’t be my niece if it ain’t neither of my sisters daughters. LOL!

Answer #5

Yes, and your cousin’s daughter’s daughter would be your 3rd cousin & so on. (:

Answer #6

No, she’s actually your first cousin once removed.

It’s hard to remember but if you think of the term “once removed” as being in a generation that’s one away from yours, you can keep it straight. So the child of your first cousin is your first cousin once removed :)

Your own child would be Ashlee’s second cousin.

– First cousins share the same grandparents.

– Second cousins share the same great-grandparents.

– Third cousins share the same great-great-grandparents.. and so on!
