Journals and Histories

To determine a kinship between yourself and someone else:

• Determine your own relationship to a common ancestor by using the top row (horizontal).
• Find the other person's relationship to the same ancestor by using the left column (vertical).
• Read down and across to find the box where the two intersect — this is your kinship.
• Example:
  Your First Cousin's child is your First Cousin Once Removed
  (being one generation removed from the original cousinship)
