This chart is based on the system used by courts and most genealogical
societies. The numbers at the top and left side represent the generations away from
the common ancestor. To identify the relationship between any two people, first
identify the common ancestor of the two people. Locate the box in the upper
left corner for the common ancestor. Follow the column straight down to find
the relationship of one of the two people to the common ancestor. Across the
top row of the chart, find the relationship of the second person to the common
ancestor. It may be helpful to pencil-in the names of the two persons for whom
relationship is sought. Where the projected column and row intersect is the box
that identifies their relationship. The highlighted boxes show persons of the
same generation. "Removed " indicates that
the two persons selected are not of the same generation. This chart may be
extended in either direction to identify more distant relationships.
