Your Family Tree Explained
Here is a pretty fun and explanatory video made by CGP Grey to help you figure out who is who in your tangled family tree! After watching it, tell us the name of your Second Cousin Once Removed in the comments below. For extra credit, tell us your Great Great Grandmother In-Law’s Grand Aunt.
Ken,
For a moment there I was irritated that you would spend time preparing this! Then I realised it was actually by someone else and frankly you have done the world a great deal of good by sharing this. I’ve had boring explanation as part of my Family Tree maker “book”but this is SO, SO much better. Even the chart at the end (for those times when you have a need for static vs video explanation, is in colour.
Thanks, thanks and thanks.

Absolutely wonderful!! Have shared it with some other geneology interested folks.
BTW, don’t know where to put this but, do you think it possible to ’embolden’ the font on this blog? Your posts and the replies, except where in BOLD, are getting harder for me to read (and I just got new glasses!) but I really want to keep up!
Thanks!
Cleaver, helpful little video – a little too fast. Thank you

Great video! My second cousin once-removed, among many others, is Autumn Gentry. Autumn’s mother Kathy is my second cousin. Our mothers, Lois and Shirley are first cousins. There you go. I haven’t researched my in-laws enough to answer the other question. No extra credit for me!
this si a really cool video. It helped me a lot
Thanks, Emma! Glad you enjoyed it.
