The parents represent the common ancestors you have with your relative. Count across the top row until you reach your generation. Now count down this column until you reach your relative's generation. This gives you your relationship to your relative. If you have only one common ancestor with your relative (perhaps this ancestor had multiple marriages), then the same chart applies but the relationships are half blood instead of full blood.
In general, the person in the first row is the ***** of the person in the first column. ***** stands for the appropriate table entry, eg. sister, uncle, second cousin, etc.
Example : Suppose I want to find out my relationship to the son of my grandmother's brother. Then the common ancestors that we share are my great-grandparents which are his grandparents. (Let`s assume a full blood relationship). Therefore, reading from the chart we find that
| parents | child | g-child | ME! |
| child | brother/ sister |
nephew/ niece |
g-nephew/ g-niece |
| RELATIVE! | uncle/ aunt |
first cousin | first cousin once removed |
