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.Judith passed away in October 2018

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.
