First Cousins, Once Removed

Ella and Reese met for the first time on Christmas Day 2009. They are first cousins, once removed. “Once removed” is a term used to describe a difference in generations. Ella’s grandparents (my mother and father) are Reese’s great-grandparents (Ashley’s grandmother and grandfather). Therefore, Ella and Reese are first cousins one generation removed from each other.

In addition, Reese is our (Beth and me) grand-niece, and we are her grand-aunt and grand-uncle.
