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. ============================================================ CA - Common Ancestor | S - Sibling (brother or sister) C - Child | N - Niece/Nephew GC - Grand Child | GN - Grand Niece/Nephew GGC - Great Grand Child | GGN - Great Grand Niece/Nephew #C - # Cousin (1C - 1st cousin, 2C - 2nd cousin, etc.) #R - # of times removed (1R - once removed, 2R - twice removed, etc.) (Based on the system used by courts and most genealogical societies.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
