Identify the most recent common ancestor of the two individuals with the unknown relationship.  \n2. Determine the common ancestor’s relationship to each person (for example, grandparent or great-grandparent).  \n3. In the topmost row of the chart, find the common ancestor’s relationship to cousin number one. In the far-left column, find the common ancestor’s relationship to cousin number two.  \n4.
