An easier way of figuring the cousin's relationship is to apply the following procedure. Two people will have a common ancestor. Let A and B represent the number of generations from that ancestor. The lesser of A and B defines the Cousin level. If A < B, then the two persons are A-2 nth cousins. The number of Removes is B-A.

That's if you're mathematically oriented! If you can, draw a picture. I majored in Anthropology, and I find it easiest to draw a picture if I get confused.
