What is a 4 cousin?

A fourth cousin is a relative with whom you share a common ancestor four generations back. Specifically, both individuals have great-great-great-grandparents that are the same, making them part of the same extended family tree. Fourth cousins typically share a small amount of DNA, reflecting their distant familial connection. They are part of a broader network of relatives that includes various degrees of cousins, such as first, second, and third cousins.
