In order to use this chart, each individual must have their lineage. First calculate your relationship to the “common ancestor” down the first column. The numbers there represent the descent from a specific individual, i.e., Charles Clendenin is the common ancestor. His children would be numbered (2), grandchildren (3) etc. Now, the second person calculates his relationship from Charles Clendenin along the first row. If you draw a line either straight to the right or down from the top, where the two intersect is the degree of relationship between you and the second person.
