First Cousin Once-Removed

There are two distinct groups of relatives that can be correctly identified as "First Cousins Once-Removed."

First Group

A first cousin once-removed may identify a child of one of your first cousins.  Every person identified as this type of first cousin once-removed must also be a great-grandchild of your grandparent.

Second Group

A first cousin once-removed may also identify the child of one of your blood related great-aunts or great-uncles.

When answering the Intestacy Calculator questions regarding living "first cousins once-removed" count all living members of both groups.

This is sometimes confusing, as there may be a great difference in ages of two people who are each correctly identified as a first cousin once-removed.
