Great nephew: 1st and 2nd cousin #1 (permalink) Sat Nov 14, 2009 19:16 pm   Great nephew: 1st and 2nd cousin		  
Could anyone explain to me very detailed, please, what a great nephew is. Also, what is the relation of grandmother's niece to me called?

More, what is a first and second cousin.

Are those terms often used in English or not? Thank you.

Detlef
