Barton .... Wiki Pedia has a good explanation of 2nd, 3rd cousins etc as well as "once removed, etc". Joe Lake Dear list, I seem to recall seeing that for purposes of amount of DNA shared, a cousin once removed is roughly equivalent to the next higher number (e.g. 2nd cousin once removed is = to third cousin). Is this correct? What about cousins twice or thrice removed? How are those amounts quantified? Thank you.
