How are we related?
Are we second cousins? Third cousins twice removed? To find how two family members are related, first determine the common ancestor. Then using the horizontal and vertical rows, find the intersection. This will tell how you are related.
For example, Alice Renfro is Harry and Louisa Buzby's grandchild. I am their great-grandchild. That makes Alice and me first cousins once removed.
If only one of the grandparents is shared then we are half cousins.
