Cousins

Tony and I have gone back in forth on what Vinny's relationship to our cousins are, and what our cousins kids are to Vinny... We could not figure it out.
Are they 2nd cousins? Are they 1st cousins? How many times are they removed?
Anyway, I finally took the time to go online and get it all straight.

Here is a link to the chart explaining it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_cousin

So basically, this is what we figured out:
Jason is Tony's 1st cousin... so Vinny is Jason's 1st cousin, once removed.
Alicia is My 1st cousin... so same thing, Vinny is Alicia's 1st cousin, once removed.
Now Alicia's boys, Davery, Keiler and Micah are Vinny's 2nd cousins.
Davery's kids will be Vinny's 2nd cousins, once removed.
Davery's kids and Vinny's kids will be 3rd cousins.

It is totally confusing, and not what any of us thought, but now we know!!! After 2 years we can finally correctly say what everyone is to each other.
