Also...as someone stated before :
That information is incorrect. FIRST cousins are identifed as having one of their parents the sbbling of one of their other parents. For example, my FIRST cousin is the daughter of my Dad's sister. The example YOU gave would be called SECOND cousins, and in almost every state, SECOND cousins are allowed to marry.

That was me....first cousins share one or less set of grandparents, ie: their parents are siblings or half-siblings. You 'corrected' me by stating the same thing.
Second cousins share great-grandparents, ie; their parents are first cousins. For example: My cousin has kids, I have kids, all those kids are second-cousins. Our shared grandparents are our kids' great-grandparents. I am his kids' first cousin, once removed and vice versa.
