| RELATIONSHIP CHART | |||||||||
| A relationship between two individuals can be determined if a common ancestor has been identified. | |||||||||
| Both lines begin with the common ancestor, shown on the chart as number 1. For the first individual, | |||||||||
| move up the A' column on the far right until you locate his/her relationship to the common ancestor. | |||||||||
| For the second individual, move down the B' column on the far right until you locate his/her relationship | |||||||||
| to the common ancestor. Now trace the green and white lines to the box on the left. The correct | |||||||||
| legal relationship is shown where the bands intersect. | |||||||||
| For example, A4 and B4 are 2nd cousins. By the same token, if A2 were the daughter of | |||||||||
| the common ancestor and B5 was the common ancestor's great-great granddaughter, then B5 would be | |||||||||
| A2's second great niece. | |||||||||
