Family Relationship Chart

To find the relationship between two individuals with a common ancestor, follow these instructions.

Assuming individual A is the 3x grandchild of the common ancestor,
place him in the 3x gr. grandchild portion along the top of the chart.

To make things simple, assuming that individual B is also a 3x gr. grandchild of that common ancestor,
 place him in the 3x gr. grandchild portion along the left hand side of the chart.

Follow both lines to their intersection, and you will find that they are fourth cousins to each other.
