Well, here’s where you can find out if they are a second cousin twice removed. All relationships shown are from the point of view of ‘Self’. Each pair of rows represents a generation, up or down from ‘Self’. Those in the same line as ‘Self’ are the same generation. This chart also shows the <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Times New Roman" >percentage of DNA</FONT> shared with each relative (<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Times New Roman" >see note below re accuracy</FONT>). I hope this helps.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Example</B>: If your shared ancestor, with another person, is your ‘great grandfather’ and that person is in your generation, they are your ‘second cousin’; their parent is your ‘first cousin once removed’ (i.e. your parent’s first cousin); their children will be your ‘second cousins once removed’.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="1"

The percentages of inherited DNA look very convincing methematically, but are not going to be accurate. This is because each generation inherits 50% of their DNA from their father and 50% of their DNA from their mother, but it is a 'lucky dip' 50%; in theory the entire 50% could be all from of either the grandmother or the grandfather of that child via its parent, and not necessarily half from each. So, to be more accurate, we inherit between 0% and 50% from all of our ancestors. The likelihood is that we get a bit of our DNA from every one of them, but this is not guarenteed, any more than two siblings will necessarily get any of the same DNA from either parent. Siblings usually share a good chunk of their DNA, but have suffient differences in which parts they receive from each parent (again on the 'lucky dip' principle), that they don't look like identical twins. This is also why two cousins may look more like siblings than the actual siblings in the same family. Sorry that this may seem confusing and may need a few re-reads to take the concept in.</div> <bR> <div> <U>There are a total of 65,535 direct-line ancestors in just 16 generations including yourself in just</U><U> 500 years of your own family history</U>! </div> <div> This is calculated by adding all the people that would be in your tree, as shown below.</div> <bR> <div> However, as the numbers of potential ancestors increase the likelihood of duplicated entries increases, since distant cousins often marry locally. 1,000 years ago you would potentially have over 4 billion ancestors in that generation, and 2,000 years ago there would be over 24 billion, billion ancestors in that generation (see below). However, since there are only about 7 billion people in the world today and the world population becomes fewer and fewer as you go back in history, most of these ancestors would have duplicate entries in your tree and, logically, you would find the majority of their names in most other family trees around the world.

you realise how little you are likely to inherit from any single ancestor. People who can claim descent from someone very famous 200 years ago are unlikely to have much of that person's DNA in them, if any, unless that person is their direct male-to-male or female-to-female ancestor (Y-DNA or MtDNA). All your other ancestors, to a greater or lesser degree, are part of the 'soup' of DNA that makes you up.</div> <bR> <div> You can take it with a 'pinch of salt' when someone says, "We have done our family tree." Sorry to dissapoint them but, after over 40 years of research, I can state that there is no such thing as 'finished' in family history research, unless you have come to a complete halt on all lines, which means you are just 'stuck' not 'finished'. I have to admit that there are some barriers to research that cannot be passed, since some records no longer exist, but you could always have your DNA checked and undertake subsequent research into the races that make you up as an individual. Also, you could add some regional, local, military, occupational & trade history to your tree to put your ancestors in context. Also, tracing distant cousins who are alive today can have its rewards, as they often have information and photos that are no longer in your branch of the extended family. Many people give up tracing their family history, having reached the 18th century, having come to an abrupt stop; this is often due to spellings being phonetic (by sound) back then and can have considerable spelling variations, often several times in the same document - so, just think how the name might sound and try all spellings that might make that sound, including with a regional accent.</div> <bR> <div> As far as DNA is concerned, it is an interesting fact that if you sampled the Mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA - the direct female-to-female line), of any two male 'silver-back' gorillas living within 20 miles of each other in a West African jungle, their MtDNA would be more different than any two human beings on this planet; even though the gorillas look alike and we don't. This is because we are a far younger species and have had much less time for our DNA to change. It is a sobering thought, when you see racial hatred in this small world, even between people who look very similar, let alone those whose appearance differs quite dramatically.</div> <bR> <div> There is only a 1.3% difference between human DNA and that of our ape cousins: Chimpanzee, Orang-utan, Gorilla & Bonobo are the closest living relatives of humans. Also, more than 3% of human DNA is more closely related to either the bonobo or the chimpanzee genome than these are to each other.
