Confused by relationships? Aren't we all, but this little table might help. Once you have found a common ancestor for two individuals, count along the top row for the first persons relationship to the common ancestor and down the left column for the second persons relationship. Where the two intersect is your answer!
For example: if person 1 is a grandchild of the common ancestor, (column 2) and person 2 is a great grandchild (row 3), then you are first cousins once removed.
