Developed to the present day, cousins have "pro-cousins" and "distant cousins". "Pro-cousins" are cousins who share the same grandfather as oneself, also known as uncles and uncles, and are second only to blood brothers. The "distant cousins" are those who do not share the same grandfather, but are distant cousins who share the same bloodline.
