If you’ve ever been to a large family reunion, you may know everyone’s name but chances are good you have no idea what their exact relationship is to you.
“She’s my niece’s cousin’s son.” Or maybe you are just wondering what the difference is between second and third cousins; or what does “once removed” mean?
Wolfram|Alpha is a fun website that can help you figure out the relationship between you and your relatives.
- Read about the genealogy calculator in this blog
- Or you can go directly to the calculator instead.
Just type in the relationship you want to figure out, and you’ll be presented with a family tree and possible names for the relationship. More information is available too, like the blood relationship faction or the probability for shared x or y chromosomes.
Fun stuff. Enjoy!
