Charts serve to organize and summarize what we know. They can also be a ready reference when we cannot keep things straight in our head. I have quite a few relatives to whom I am related in more than one way. That can compound challenges when working with autosomal DNA test results as the shared double connections (at least for me) are often 5th great-grandparents or closer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These double connections can impact the amount of shared DNA we have (not necessarily doubling it at all). It can also impact the shared matches. Some of the double relationships I have in my head, but it’s impossible to keep them all at the ready mental reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I made a chart. The relationship is not completely stated, but there’s enough detail in the chart so that I know what couples I have double connections with and a general idea of how both the wife and husband are related. I can refer to additional information if necessary. The chart just serves as a quick way to know if both the husband and wife in a couple are related to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The illustration is just a partial list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
