What Does Once Removed Mean?

 

I have been trying to learn for awhile now what cousin once removed, aunt once removed etc. means and I think I have finally got it down.  

It is how many generations away from you it is.  Once removed means a difference of one generation, twice removed means a difference of two generations.  If your first cousin has a child, this child is your first cousin once removed.  

The chart below is like an easy cheat sheet for you.
