I think this is way more information than I needed. Thanks.

The way we pay attention to genealogy here in the U.S., most people would never know who their third cousins are. Your first cousin once removed is your father or mother's cousin. That person's son or daughter is your second cousin. I think your grandfather's cousin is your first cousin twice removed. That person's offspring are your second cousins once removed and their children (same generation as you) are your third cousins. Wow, the word "cousin" is starting to look really weird.

You make a great point. Most of what you said is only vaguely understood here in America (myself included). Thanks. For instance -- I am a 'white' guy, and most of my 3rd cousins are black.
