Free Relationship Chart For Genealogists


If you are confused by cousins, second cousins, once, twice or more removed then you need a relationship chart. It is quite simple when you see it in a chart. If you are both grandchildren of the same ancestor then your relationship is first cousins, if the ancestor is a shared great grandfather then you are second cousins and so on.
If there is a generation between you then you are x cousins once removed. If there are two generations then three times removed and so on. 


The easiest way is to use a chart. Below is a chart I use up to 4 x great grandchild. You can download a copy here.


Relationship Chart


Firstly find your common ancestor. Across is your relatives relationship with your ancestor. Down is your relationship. follow both lines to where they cross, that is your relationship.  For example if the you are a grandson (row 2) and they are a great grandson (column 3) the lines meet at first cousin once removed
