Me: You are correct, at least in the US and I'm assuming it is the 
same.  The two of the same generation are second cousins.  The two of 
different generations are first cousins once removed.  My 
Grandparents have 6 kids, 13 grandkids, and 16 great grandkids 
(including a set of sextuplets) so we figured this all out a long 
time ago to keep track of all those kids.
