How two people are related

Pick any two people this site can show and it works out the nearest relationship the record supports, and prints the two lines it read to get there.

Two people are counted as blood relations when they share an ancestor in this record - not merely because some chain of names runs between them. Where no shared ancestor exists the page says whether a chain of marriages reaches across, and shows it, rather than calling that descent.

A relationship here is only as good as the parentage rows it rests on. Most of the people on this site have no recorded parents at all, so a blank answer is a gap in the record and never a finding about a family.
