(1st) Determine the nearest common ancestor between person A and person B whose relationship is desired. That common ancestor is at the TOP of the grid.
(2nd) For person A, proceed down the LEFT hand side diagonal however many generations person A is down from the common ancestor.
(3rd) For person B, proceed down the RIGHT hand side diagonal however many generations person B is down from the common ancestor.
(4th) The intersection of the TWO sloping columns determined in steps 2 and 3 will give the relationship of persons A and B.
