Kinship Chart Test

KINSHIP CHART
actual chart starts about the middle of this page

Your first cousins are those people in your family who have two of the same grandparents as you, i.e., they are the children of your aunts and uncles. Your second cousins are the people in your family who have the same great-grandparents as you, but not the same grandparents. Your third cousins have the same great-great-grandparents, and so on.

When the word removed is used to describe a relationship, it means that the two related people are from different generations.

  • You and your first cousins are in the same generation (both two generations younger than your grandparents).
  • Your mother's first cousin is only one generation younger than those same grandparents, so your mother's first cousin is your first cousin, once removed.

To identify the exact degree of kinship between any two related people ...

  • Identify the common ancestor of the two people, i.e., find the direct ancestor of individual #1 who is also a direct ancestor of individual #2. The box in the upper left corner of the chart is that common ancestor.
  • Across the top row of the chart, find the relationship of individual #1 to the common ancestor.
  • Down the left edge of the chart, find the relationship of individual #2 to the common ancestor.
  • Read down the column of the individual #1 and across the chart on the row of individual #2. Where the two rows intersect is the box which identifies their relationship.

For example ... for the Common Ancestor, I am using Christopher Clark who was born in 1681. By the middle of the 19th century ...

· Christopher's daughter, Agnes, had a great-great-grandson by the name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910).

· Agnes' sister, Elizabeth, had a great-great-granddaughter by the name of Josephine Wingfield (Davis) Henry (1842-1899). This Josephine is my great-great-grandma, who had lived in Milam Co. TX (where I was born & raised) for more than two decades by the time of her death in 1899.

Since Christopher was the g-g-g-grandpa of both Josephine and Samuel, this puts them both in Column #6, which makes them 4th cousins to each other.

As the g-g-granddaughter (me) of the g-g-granddaughter (Josephine) of Christopher's daughter, Elizabeth, I am the 7th-great- granddaughter of Christopher. This puts me in column #10.

If you follow Samuel's Column #6 down until it intersects with my Column #10, you will find that I am the 4th cousin four times removed to Samuel ... aka Mark Twain.

The following explanation was found on the WWW 10+ years ago ...

  • GRAND ... Grand is a prefix added to represent one generation of separation. Your father's father, for instance, is still a father to you. However, there is one generation between the two of you, so he is a grandfather to you -- and you are a grandchild to him.

This term is most commonly applied to fathers and mothers, but it can also be used to define other relationships. Such as a Grand Uncle or Grand Aunt (your grandparent's brother or sister).

  • GREAT ... Great is a prefix that is added to represent 2 generations of separation. If Grand is one generation of separation, then Great-grand (i.e. great-grandmother) is two generations of separation.

For every generation of separation, above one (Grand), there is a Great added to represent each additional generation of separation. Your father's grandfather is 3 generations separated from you, so he would be your Great-Great- Grandfather. The Grand and two Greats represent the 3 generations of separation.

This prefix can also be used to define other 2-plus generational relationships, like Great Aunt, or Great Uncle. As noted, the Grand is more commonly left out (Great Aunt instead of Great Grand Aunt) when referring to relationships other than father and mother.

It is common, once you go beyond a Great-Great-Grandparent, to refer to the Greats by number. For instance, your Great-Great-Great-Grandfather would be called your 3rd Great-Grandfather and written as G3-Grandfather, GGG-Grandfather or something similar.
