Figuring Out How You're Related

One thing about this chart that I had the question of was:
Nieces and Nephews have Uncles and Aunts, yeah, so what is the reciprocal of a "first-cousin-once-removed"? There isn't one. If you are a first-cousin-once-removed to someone, they are the same to you.

It bothered me that this chart only lists "Niece and Nephew" and doesn't say "Aunt and Uncle" anywhere. But yeah, so if one person is a great-grand-nephew, than the other is the great-grand-uncle.

Instructions:
1. Select two people in your family and figure out which ancestor they have in common.
2. Look at the top row of the chart (in blue) and find the first person's relationship to the common ancestor.
3. Look at the far left column of the chart (in blue) and find the second person's relationship to the common ancestor.
4. Move across the row and down the column and find where they intersect. This box is the relationship between these two individuals
