June,

The first cousin of a parent would be a first cousin once removed ("1C1R")  That 1C1R's child would be a first cousin twice removed ("1C2R").  And so on.

That said, often the technical formalities are disregarded.  Personal examples:  When I was growing up, we all referred to my grandfather's first cousin as "Aunt Celia," notwithstanding that to me she was a 1C2R.  And even today, the ex-wife of a son (albeit by adoption) of my mother's first cousin refers to herself as my mom's "cousin."
