Relationships

Relationships
by
Richard E. Henthorn


I have seen a number of tables which outline family relationships. This is an attempt to convey the same information for six generations in a textual manner, rather than in a table.

The information is from the male point of view.

Your Father is the:
  • Brother of your uncle
  • Uncle of your first cousin
  • Great Uncle of your first cousin's child
  • GG Uncle of your first cousin's grandchild
  • GGG Uncle of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • GGGG Uncle of your first cousin's GG grandchild

You are the:

  • Child of your parents
  • Sibling of your siblings
  • Nephew of your uncle
  • Uncle of your sibling's children
  • First cousin of your first cousin
  • First cousin once removed of your first cousin's child
  • First cousin twice removed of your first cousin's grandchild
  • First cousin three times removed of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • First cousin four times removed of your first cousin's GG grandchild

Your son is the:
  • Nephew of your siblings
  • Great nephew of your uncle
  • First cousin once removed of your first cousin
  • Second cousin of your first cousin's child
  • Second cousin once removed of your first cousin's grandchild
  • Second cousin twice removed of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • Second cousin three times removed of your first cousin's GG grandchild

Your grandson is the:
  • GG nephew of your uncle
  • First cousin twice removed of your first cousin
  • Second cousin once removed of your first cousin's child
  • Third cousin of your first cousin's grandchild
  • Third cousin once removed of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • Third cousin twice removed of your first cousin's GG grandchild

Your great grandson is the:
  • GGG nephew of your uncle
  • First cousin three times removed of your first cousin
  • Second cousin twice removed of your first cousin's child
  • Third cousin once removed of your first cousin's grandchild
  • Fourth cousin of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • Fourth cousin once removed of your first cousin's GG grandchild

Your GG grandson is the:
  • GGGG nephew of your uncle
  • First cousin four times removed of your first cousin
  • Second cousin three times removed of your first cousin's child
  • Third cousin twice removed of your first cousin's grandchild
  • Fourth cousin once removed of your first cousin's great grandchild
  • Fifth cousin of your first cousin's GG grandchild
