My niece has a son what relationship is he to me? Second question, what relationship is he to my son?










I asked the woman in the birthday card shop but she tried to sell me a Happy Birthday Uncle card and that can't be right because I'm his mother's uncle

    He is your great-nephew. Your son is his first cousin once removed.
    Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

    I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

    It's the first cousin once removed and the second cousin that I always get confused with.

    the removed part refers to generations.

    Your second cousin is someone you share a great-grandparent with - there are the name number of generations between you and the shared ancestor.

    Your first cousin once removed is someone who is a generation older or younger than you are - e.g. your grandparent is their aunt or uncle, rather than being their great-aunt or uncle.
