Second Cousin

Any person who is your second cousin must also be:

1) the grandchild of one of your blood related great-aunts or great-uncles; 2) the great-niece or great-nephew of one of your grandparents; or 3) a great-grandchild of one of your great-grandparents.

Note: A first cousin is also a great-grandchild of your great-grandparents.  However, a first cousin is also the grandchild of your grandparents, not of one your great-aunts or great-uncles.
