First Cousin Twice-Removed

 

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

 

First Group

A first cousin twice-removed is the child of your great-great-aunt or great-great-uncle.  This person must also be a grandchild of any one of great-great-grandparents.

 

Second Group

A first cousin twice-removed also identifies the grandchild of one of your first cousins.

 

When answering the Intestacy Calculator questions regarding living "first cousins twice-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.
