Kinship Chart

I know that most of us would like to pretend that
we don't have any relatives and would much
rather concentrate on our immediate family, the
family that we get to choose, our friends... but

Sometimes some of you have had those thoughts
about marrying your 2nd cousin twice removed
and you're not sure if the gene pool has been
diluted enough...

Here's a handy chart that keeps it all in one
place!

It still doesn't answer one of my burning questions
though... if my sister marries my wife's brother does
that give me the choice of considering us related
by marriage? ;-}
