Common Ancestor Chart To find your relationship to another person...(this sounds complicated, but isn't) 1. Enter the name of the ancestor you both have in common into the "CA" space 2. On the right hand numbered side, count down the number of generations between your common ancestor and yourself (i.e. Great Grandfather/Grandfather/father/me...) 3. On the left hand numbered side, follow the same process for the ancestor in question 4. Run your finger diagonally/downward from the right hand numbered side 5. Run your finger diagonally/downward from the left hand numbered side 6. Where the two lines cross (where your fingers meet on the chart) ; it will tell you how you are related to the person in question. (See code below graph)
