Relationship Charts

 

Siblings: (brothers and sisters) who have the same parents.

First cousins: are persons who have the same grandparents (but aren't siblings).

Second cousins: have the samef great-grandparents (but aren't first cousins or siblings).

Third cousins:....have the same great-great-grandparents as you, etc.

Removed: is used when two persons share a set of ancestors but are not the same number of generations in descent from those ancestors.  For example, the children of your first cousin would be your first cousins, once removed (the common ancestors are your grandparents, who are their great-grandparents).  Your children and your first cousin's children would be second cousins.   

For example: as a descended of Sinai LOEB, the brother of Rabbi Jehuda LOEW, I am a great, great,......, great nephew of Jehuda (the Maharal of Prague).  If I descend from a first cousin of "the Maharal", I would be Maharal's first cousin, many, many times removed. 

*On the top row, find the relationship of one person to the common ancestor and follow the column straight down. Find the other persons relationship to the common ancestor on the left hand column and follow that row straight across. The relationship is where the projected row & column meet.

*Your first cousin once removed is either: (1) the child of your first cousin, (2) or the child of your grand-aunt or uncle

Why are they 'removed?- Because they are in a different generation than you, when compared to the most recent ancestor that you have in common!
