double first cousin and double cousin
editMy instinct is that although it's clearly theoretically possible to have a double second cousin or a double fifth cousin twice removed or whatever, the vast majority of references to double cousin will be synonyms with double first cousin. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 22:05, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
