What relationship is my nieces son to me?

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.

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.
