Familial Relations

I've been studying Russian for 4 years and had to look up the words for nephew and cousin, because I've never heard anyone use them. Tell me, Russians, do you use the words племянник and двоюродный брат, and I've just never talked to russians about their cousins, or is it, as I was thinking, that you usually just say сын моего дяди, etc.?
