Is your cousin a member of your family?
You may also wonder, "Who is a cousin?"
Cousins are people with a common ancestor who is at least two generations distant, such as a grandparent and great-grandparent. Your parents are only one generation away so you and your siblings can't be considered cousins.
Another question is: Who are blood relatives? Parents, siblings, and children are all considered first-degree blood relatives. First-degree relatives have approximately half their genes in common. Uncles, aunts and nephews are second-degree blood relatives.
So, my cousin is related to me.
Your cousin would also be the cousin of your cousin if he or she is the sibling of one your parents. My third cousin is the cousin that my cousin has from his other family. This cousin is not related to our relationship as cousins since it is through our fathers.
Is a cousin immediate family?
If they are living with you in special circumstances (e.g., the death of their parents), cousins and other relatives may be added to your immediate family.
