Rollie, PAF 5 will calculate this relationship for you, as far as blood relationship goes. If you already have that function set up, with you as the person to calculate relationships to, the answer will apprear in the lower left corner of the other person's (must be highlighted) Family screen. If the function isn't set, go to Tools, select Relationship Calculator and enter each individual's info (easiest by noting their RIN and using it). Be sure you put your info (if you're trying to calculate the other person's relationship to you) in the lower block. Otherwise you get the reverse relationship. It that doesn't make sense, think of it this way: if you put your grandfather in the top box and you in the bottom box, the answer will come up that as grandfather (top box) is grandfather of lower box) If you reverse the placement (you in top box & grandpa in the lower box) then the answer comes up as grandson. Hope this helps.
