Thread: How am I Related???

Could someone please confirm for me...

I have found a relative thru Genes & I wondered if anyone knew what our 'offcial' link is....

Her gt grandma & my gt grandad were brother & sister...does this make us cousins of sorts??

Many thanks

Thanks to you both for that...it's cleared it up for me!
Wasn't sure where to find the relationship chart now...

Hi,
You will need to find a common ancestor to establish your relationship,
in this case your g-g-grandparents. People who share grandparents are 1st cousins. Share great grandparents = 2nd cousins. Share great,great grandparents = 3rd cousins.

Happy Hunting,
Abundance
