Good point, I don't know what "second cousin, thrice removed" exactly is, it was a random example. But in my country, all people on the same "level" are your brothers/sisters, all people above are uncles/aunts, all people below are nephews; there is (essentially) no distinction if your last common ancestor is one or five generations away.

Definitely right here, there's a lot of issues but a lot of care is given to it. I've found that I can always represent anything I need.

For example, in the new place model, places are arranged hierarchically. But, for each "part of" relationship, you can specify a date range; in this way, you can represent that a given city was part of that parish in that century, but a part of something else later, or country changes, or anything you wish. When marking strings for translation, care is given to support right-to-left languages as well. It's, of course, an ongoing process (and most developers are Western), but a lot of tiny things combine to offer a lot of flexibility.

The "thrice removed" part indicates that they're not on the same level, so that would be an uncle/aunt - niece/nephew relationship in your country.

(The "second cousin" bit indicates that the first common ancestor is a great-grandparent to the generationally older of the two).
