One of most common issues in genealogy is to understand the relationship between two people in a family. We’re all familiar with the relationship between our direct line ancestor and ourselves, but the other branches can get a little tangled. For example, most people are familiar with the concept of a sibling (brother or sister) and a cousin, but what exactly is a second cousin twice removed?
To help determine how two people are related to each other we have created what is formally known as a canon law relationship chart, but what is more commonly referred to as a Family Tree Relationship Chart. Hope this makes things a bit clearer.

My ancestors are from somewhere in Scotland. My last name is Tolmie
Hi, I’m looking for Nicol and MacNicol. I believe my ancestors are from the Isle of Skye and Lewis, not sure. I know that my paternal great grandfather James Nicol was born in Glasgow, and his father was James Nicol and mother Flora Nicol (nee Simpson). Would love to learn more about them and discover more relatives.
