Relationship Chart


This is a useful tool to find out how 2 people are related. At the top of the chart is the common ancestor, or progenitor. Person 1, find how you are related to your ancestor along the left side. Person 2, find how you are related to your ancestor along the right side. Where the 2 diagonal rows meet is how you are related. For example, say I am the daughter of CP (Common Progenitor), and person 2 is the grandson of CP. (Realize that son/daughter, niece/nephew and brother/sister are used accordingly). I would follow box "1" on the left side, and box "2" on the right side, and find the box where they meet. Thus I see that person #2 is my nephew.
