Not got a clue but there are a lot of relationship charts available if you google


Just one on this site

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

The other person's aunt must be a child of this other person's grandparent. The said aunt must also be a child of your grandmother's sibling. Therefore, your grandmother and the other person's grandparent must have been siblings, which makes you and the other person second cousins.
