I have no first cousins. My mother, Andrea Campbell, was an only child. My late father, Felix Leu, had a half-sister who had no children (Miriam Tinguely).

MY FATHER'S SIDE

David Bollag

Aeppli

Willi Aeppli is my great grandfather.  So his brothers, Fritz and Ernst, would be my great uncles.

Willi was father of Eva, my grandmother, and Felix was her son, my father.

Ernst would be your grandfather, Susi your mother.  So Susi would be Eva's cousin.

Fritz's daughter, Lisbeth, would also be Eva's cousin.

Susi and Lisbeth would be my first cousins, twice removed.

David would be my father's first cousin, once removed.

David would be my second cousin, once removed.

My father Felix's cousins, Matthias Haerri, Barbeli Aeppli, Cora Aeppli May and Rachel Sisemore, would be my first cousins once removed.  These folks are all Swiss or Swiss American.

She, however, attended the University of Alabama, majoring in Political Science and French. After she received her BA, she spent a year and half in France, first working as an au pair in the village of Blaye, then bumming around Paris. When she returned to the States, she went back to UA and received an MA in French Literature. In 1994, she got married and moved to his hometown in Valencia, Spain in 1994 where they work as teachers and translators. In fact, the two novels Dana has written were both inspired by translation jobs. Dana is still in Valencia and Spanish now occupies most of the foreign-language sector of her brain. She lives with her husband and their two daughters, Claudia and Lucia.

Types of Cousins

Wikipedia:
"In kinship terminology, a cousin is a relative with whom one shares a common ancestor. In modern usage, the term is rarely used when referring to a relative in one's own line of descent, or where there is a more specific term to describe the relationship: e.g., brother, sister, aunt, uncle. The term blood relative can be used synonymously, and underlines the existence of a genetic link. A system of degrees and removes is used to describe the relationship between the two cousins and the ancestor they have in common.

The degree (first, second, third cousin, et cetera) indicates one less than the minimum number of generations between both cousins and the nearest common ancestor. For example, a person with whom one shares a grandparent (but not a parent) is a first cousin; someone with whom one shares a great-grandparent (but not a grandparent) is a second cousin; and someone with whom one shares a great-great-grandparent (but not a great-grandparent) is a third cousin; and so on.

The remove (once removed, twice removed, etc.) indicates the number of generations, if any, separating the two cousins from each other. The child of one's first cousin is one's first cousin once removed because the one generation separation represents one remove. Oneself and the child are still considered first cousins, as one's grandparent (this child's great-grandparent), as the most recent common ancestor, represents one degree. Equally the child of one's great-aunt or uncle (one's parent's cousin) is one's first cousin once removed because their grandparent (one's own great-grandparent) is the most recent common ancestor. "
