A cousin is a person outside your immediate family related to you by blood and descended from the same ancestor.  This chart shows how cousins are related:

John Washington

BROTHERS & SISTERS

Blanch

Bookie

Ruby

Catherine

FIRST COUSINS

Lois

Alan

Doris

Dee

SECOND COUSINS

Sarah

Kevin

Chuck

Chip

THIRD COUSINS

Ben

Evan

Chris Chelsea
First cousins are children of brothers and sisters, so Lois, Alan, Doris, and Dee are first cousins to each other.  Second cousins are children of first cousins, so Sarah, Kevin, Chuck, and Chip are second cousins to each other, and so on.  A first cousin once removed is the child of your first cousin, so Kevin, Chuck, and Chip are Lois' first cousins once removed.  Ben, Evan, and Chris are Dee's first cousins twice removed, and so on.
