This article is a 'reprint' from the Boston Globe somewhere in the 50's - 80's and it gives a good story on how cousins are created over time.
'It is not hard to understand about "third cousins once removed" once you understand the basic rule.
The son or daughter of your aunt or uncle is your 1st cousin.
If your 1st cousin has a child, the child's relationship to you is 1st cousin once removed.
If that child has a child, he will be your 1st cousin twice removed and so on.
Now, if you have a child and your 1st cousin has a child, then those two children will be 2nd cousins to each other.
If your child has a child (your grandchild), and your cousin's child has a child (your cousin's grandchild), those two will be 3rd cousins to each other.
