Relation-Finder Chart
To determine exactly how you & another relative are related, you can use this chart.
Begin with your known, common ancestor in box 1 in the upper left corner.
Trace descendants across the top row & along the left column. #2 on each will be a child of your ancestor; #3 a grandchild; and so forth.
Once you've traced a direct line of descent to yourself & the relative you're wondering about, trace down the column and across the row to the box where they meet.
You may want to expand your browser to fullscreen to view the chart.
