  I don’t share my blood with anyone. You keep your grubby hands to yourself.

    A second cousin is someone with whom you share a great-grandparent.

      Earliest common ancestor is great-grandparent. With same number intermediaries for both people.

      n^th cousin is how many “g’s” in the title of the earliest common ancestor. Grandparent == one “g” = first cousin. Two gs, second cousin, etc.

      “Removed” is the offset value, or the difference between how many intermediaries between the two parties and their earliest common ancestor.

        Well yes, but ‘second cousin’ with no qualifiers implies we’re talking about zero times removed. The more salient point I was trying to make was that yes, second cousins share blood
