To find the relationship of two persons (we'll call them "A" and "B"), find person "A" in the row to the right of the Common Ancestor; then find person "B" in the column below the Common Ancestor. Then, simply follow the column of person "A" down to the box where it intersects with the row of person "B".

For example, if "A" is a Grandson/Daughter of the Common Ancestor and "B" is a Great Grandson/Daughter of the Common Ancestor, the box where their respective column and row intersect tells us that they are First Cousins, Once Removed.

Additionally you can try the cousin calculator from PrenticeNet if youare more distantly related.
