Instructions and Help about printable cousin chart

This is you, this is your family tree and this is Your Family Tree Explained. You have parents, and your parents have parents. These are your grandparents, who also have parents — your great-grandparents. Keep adding parents, keep adding quot;greats”. For every “G” in the name there is one generation in between you and that person. Grandparents? One quot;G”, one generational in-betweener. Great, great, great-grandparents? Four G's, four in-betweeners. Continuing with the basics, you have siblings, and so do your parents. These are your aunts and uncles. Up the tree, you may call these people your great aunts and uncles, but your grandparent's siblings are also your grand aunts and uncles. Greats are reserved for the levels above grand. Your great-grandparents' siblings are your great grandaunts and uncles. Now down the tree, your siblings' children are your nieces and nephews, collectively — siblings, and you are their aunt or uncle. Their children are your grandnieces and nephews, and you are their grand aunt or uncle. We've gone up, and we've gone down, and it's time to go sideways. When you get married, you get everyone's favorite in-laws. You are on the same level of the family tree as your spouse's siblings. You are kind of quot;pseudo-sibling”. All the new families' relationships to you are the same as to your spouse, but they get the in-law prefix [suffix×. It's pretty straightforward except for one case: Your spouses' siblings are your siblings-in-law but are your siblings in-law spouses also your siblings-in-law? It's a little unclear. Alright, enough with the in-laws, it's onto the reason you're probably watching this video. Cousins? Your aunt's and uncle's children are your cousins, but there are many kinds of cousins and to better understand them we need to simplify this family tree, and think downward. Here is you, your children and your grandchildren. Your grandchildren are your first cousins to each other, and their children, your great-grandchildren, are second cousins to each other, and so on. The cousin number is the same as the quot;G” rule: it tells you how many in-betweeners until the connection on the family tree. Fourth cousins? Four in-betweeners, and a shared great, great, great, grandparent. According to the rule, your first cousins and you connect at your grandparent. And second cousins share a great-grandparent connection. Just match the cousin number with the number of G's, and you are all set. Simple! Side note here: Continuing this rule in reverse, means that siblings can technically call each other 0th cousins, which they totally should, and you are your own -1 cousin? Weird. (Side note end) All done here now, nothing more to talk about ... oh right, the once removed thing. You may have noticed these cousins are on the same level. Removed just describes how many generations apart people are. For example: what's the family connection between these two? Start by taking the smaller cousin number first cousins, and...
