 Using the Relationship Chart
To find how you are related to another person in your family:
1) Find your relationship to the Common Ancestor in the top row;
2) Find the relationship of the other person to the Common Ancestor in the left column;
3) Where the row and the column intersect is your relationship to that person.
Example
You are the great grandchild of your Ancestor.
The other person is the great-great grandchild of the same Ancestor.

1) You are at number 3 at the top of the chart;
2) The other person is at number 4 at the left column;
3) They intersect at:    1.   2nd cousin, once removed

That is your relationship to the other person.
