Is your cousin a blood relative, or by marriage?
Your cousin's grandson would be your third cousin, possibly once or twice removed.
I THINK that would make them fifth cousins. I have no idea how many times removed that would be. If I'm figuring this correctly, you would have to go back five generations for both of them to find a common ancestor.
While they ARE related, it's so distant that any worry of inbreeding is pointless.

Yes. Sorry to the cousins grandson but no wedding.

There is a connection there but it is a very distant one, but it could still be a blood relation connection, but as cousins can marry, or is it 2nd cousins it would not be disallowed.
If that's what they wanted of course...
