How To Determing Your Relationship
Who is your cousin?
- Identify the relationship from the common ancestor on the top horizontal row for one descendant.
- Do the same for the other descendant in the left vertical column.
- Drop down the column for the first descendant, go across the row for the second descendant,
and where they cross is the relationship between the two descendants
Note: 2 cousin 3 removed = 2nd cousin 3 times removed
