Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You are both in the same generation coming down from a common ancestor, your great grandparents!.

Your grandparents are brothers

Your parents are first cousins

Therefore the two of you are second cousins!.

If you were in a different generation coming down from a common ancestor that is where the removes come in!.

For instance, you are a first cousin once removed to his father!. Your father is a first cousin once removed to him!. That is because they are in a different generation coming down from a common ancestor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You would be second cousins!.

A and B are brothers
A is C's father
B is D's father
C and D are first cousins
C is E's father
D is F's father
E and F are second cousins

In general, you count the number of generations back to the siblings, as long as they are in the same generation, to determine the ordinal number for cousins!.

# your grandfather's brothers are your great uncles, their children are your first cousins once removed and also your father's first cousins, and their grandchildren are your second cousins (or your second cousins are the children of your parent's first cousins)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
