I realized at that point that there are probably a lot of people who didn't understand family relationships in their genealogy. So I wanted to put together a tutorial to help YOU understand your family relationships using these Relationship Charts.
Here's one of the most traditional charts out there: The Canon or Common Law Relationship Chart:

Here is another, more simple relationship chart created by Teach Me Genealogy. We recommend using both of these relationship charts in your genealogy to figure out your relationship between relatives.

Keep learning about your family relations and keep connecting the dots! -Sarah :)
Wow, thank you so much for these charts! This is exactly what I was looking for. I came in contact with a distant living cousin, and because of these forms I was able to confirm that we are 3rd cousins. Thank you so much for all you are doing to help people like me with my genealogy :)

Replythanks for post
Replyits really impressive I think that your chart is correct but not fully. because we have many relationship in the other site which is out of family. do you have that chart.
ReplySo if my 4th great grandfather had plura wives, would his descendant 4th great granddaughter of the other wife be my 4th half cousin? If we were from the same wife we would be 4th cousins.
