It has nothing to do with chronological age, it has to do with level of relationship.
A first cousin is on the same generational level as you - no matter what your ages are. You have the same grandparents. A 2nd cousin once removed means that you are on different generational levels even if you are the same age. The person who is your great-grandparent is the other person's great-great-grandparent. The parent of your second cousin once removed is your second cousin - you have the same great-grandparent. Once removed means that person is a child of your second cousin. If twice removed, that person would be the grandchild of your second cousin. CE From: ChuckH44 .

If I run the Relationship Calculator between myself and a first cousin that I know is younger than I, I don't see the asterisk. If I run it against a 2nd cousin, I don't see it. (Younger than me) But when I run it against the child of the second cousin, then it shows up. This comes up as: "Relationship 2nd cousin once removed * " But something else that I found while playing with it. If I hit the "Swap" button, the asterisk goes away. Any thoughts? Chuck H.
