First cousin once removed. It's either one's parent's first cousin
(grandfather's nephew) or one's first cousin's child (uncle's
grandson): one generation difference. A great-nephew is one's
brother's grandson: two generations difference.

Let's assume that all these people are men:

A ---- B      A and B are brothers
|      |
|      |
C      E      C and E are first cousins
|      |
|      |
D      F      D and F are second cousins


A is F's great-uncle and F is A's great-nephew; same with B and D, of
course.

A is E's uncle and E is A's nephew; same with B and C.

D and E, as well as C and F, are first cousins once removed.

For cousins more than once removed we'd have to drag in the
great-grandfather.
