DEGREES OF RELATIONSHIP According to Civil Law and Canon Law

This chart shows degree of relationship between you ("Self") and other relatives. The chart does not show relationship between others on the chart. To determine those relationships, place another person in the "Self" box.

c = Cousin
r = number of times removed
e.g. "1c 1r" is First Cousin, Once Removed. Note that different relatives can have the same relationship to you. For example, the child of your First Cousin and the child of your Great Uncle, are both your First Cousin, Once Removed.
 
The chart may be extended by adding columns and rows.
