distant cousins meaning
Quora User, found the recipe to make a relationship work. 1  A and B are first cousins when a parent of A and a parent of B are siblings. C and D are second cousins when they are children of A and B (first cousins). 2  In plain English usage, a distant cousin is usually taken to mean a cousin beyond the 1st cousin. That would mostly mean people like 2nd, 3rd or more distant cousins. In this connection, all your 1st cousins are children of your uncles and aunts.
