Relationship Chart

Below is a chart to help you determine what relation you are to others in your family tree through nine generations. It is assumed that person #1 and #2 are male to simplify the chart.

Instructions for use:

1. Find the common ancestor who would be in the box "common ancestor".
2. Across the top row of the chart, find the relationship of person #1 to the common ancestor.
3. Down the left edge of the chart find the relationship of person #2 to the common ancestor.
4. Now go down the column of person #1's relation until you meet the row where person #2 is.
Whatever the relationship in that box, is what the relationship is of person #1 to person #2.

EXAMPLE
Person #1 gg grandson of common ancestor
Person #2 ggg grandson of common ancestor
Relationship - 3rd cousins once removed.
