cousinhood

Shared aunt's descendants

Cousinhood is the state or condition of being cousins, or the relationship between cousins collectively.

The word can also refer to cousins as a group: The whole cousinhood gathered for the reunion.

Like kinship terms such as brotherhood or sisterhood, it emphasizes the bond rather than the individuals.
