How we worked it out
Follow the chain one step at a time:
- Your aunt: aunt (2 up, 1 down)
- Your aunt's granddaughter: first cousin once removed (2 up, 3 down)
Your grandparents are her great-grandparents: they are your common ancestors.
She is one generation below you.
Count the generations to your common ancestors: 2 up from you, 3 down to her. The cousin number is one less than the smaller count (2), so first cousin. The counts differ by 1, so once removed.
