First cousin, seventh cousin...
I don't understand this. What does it mean by "Arthur Baldwin is a first cousin, three times removed, from Eli Whitney"? I don't understand the first cousin, three times removed part.
Also, there are things like "seventh cousin", "second cousin" and stuff like that. What do they mean?
