Relatedness

8th cousin twice removed? What's that??
This diagram tries to explain relatedness,
and how to work it out between you
and your Ancestor.


NOTES
2G GFather = Great-Great GrandFather, G GUNC = Great-Grand Uncle, 3 COU = 3rd cousin.
3c2r = 3rd cousin twice removed.
Horizontal lines are siblings, vertical lines are offspring
The female side is symmetrical with this male side.

[128] = Genetic separation is 128, i.e. sharing 1/128 of each other's genes.
The genetic separation of 2 GG Nephew, 3 GG Father and 2 Cousin is the same [32]
