          I got it wrong then. My grandfather and his were first cousins so I thought my father and his were first cousins once removed making us first cousins twice removed

            You and your contact are of the same generation. Your gt grandfathers were brothers, so your grandparents were first cousins, your parents were second cousins and you are third cousins.
            Once removed etc is only used when you are of different generations eg your father's second cousin is your second cousin once removed because you are one generation away from him.

                  think of it like this: your mothers are sisters. so you and your cousin are first cousins. your cousin then has a child. to you, the child is a 1st cousin, but once removed. if that cousin had a child, it would be 2ce removed, and so forth.

                  john smith married jane jones grandparents

                  elizabeth smith sisters jane smith
                  married jack johnson / married simon coates

                  anne johnson married joseph jones first cousins janet coates

                  jackie jones first cousin once removed to janet

                  if janet had a child, it would be the second cousin to jackie.
                  its confusing, but is you can remember it in a simple way, its easier.
