Quite surprising for a man who realized an incestuous relationship would cultivate inbreeding.

WalksBySelf, "fifth cousin" means two people sharing great-great-great-great-grandparents in the same way (first) cousins share grandparents. "Twice removed" means that there is a two generation difference between the people being referred to - the grandchild of my cousin is twice removed from me. Simple - lol.
