minus-squareJasonDJ@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 days agoEarliest 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.
minus-squareRevan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 days agoWell 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
