ancestral parents, by moving across the top of the chart.

- Example:
- John & Mary have found that Mary's 4th great grandparents are the same
people as John's 2nd great grandparents and they want to find their
relationship to each other.
- Mary moves across the top of the chart to column 6, as she is a 4th
great granddaughter of the common ancestral parents.
- Being a 2nd great grandson of the common ancestral parents, John
moves down the chart to row 4.
- Following the row and the column to the intersection, John & Mary
find they are 3rd cousins, twice removed.
-
- NOTE:
- If John and Mary only had one grandparent in common, then they would
be half 3rd cousins, twice removed.
