Just so we are clear is he saying that 9th cousins *once removed* is family?

1st cousins have common grandparents
2nd cousins have common great grandparents
3rd cousins have common 2nd great grandparents
4th cousins have common 3rd GGPs
5th cousins have common 4th GGPs
<. . .>
9th cousins have common 8th GGPs

9th cousins; once removed : Son of said 9th cousin...(9th cousins have common 8th GGPs)

May as well say all people with blue eyes are family as they all have a common ancestor..

Hell for that matter Obama and the Queen are family...
