Ron Just by chance, I too just noticed this asterisk, and was puzzled by it. But why would you need the asterisk to show the removed cousin is the offspring of an aunt/uncle rather than great aunt/great uncle. That is already indicated by closeness of cousinship, i.e. offspring of an aunt/uncle

The original question referred to an asterisk next to the relationship. It designates a relative of a later, or younger generation. E.g., my first cousin's granddaughter is my 1st cousin, twice removed. My grandfather's 1st cousin is also my 1st cousin twice removed. The cousin's gr dau is
