Chart Of Cousins

Many of my American friends will be spending time with relatives this Thanksgiving.  This chart helps you figure out exactly how you're related.

Figure out the common ancestor between two relatives. Then select the relationship of the first relative to the common ancestor in the top row. Move down to the row that corresponds to the relationship of the second person to the common ancestor. The result is the relationship of the second person to the first.

Mind boggling, at least to me!
