Unscramble Family Relations

Ever talking about some in your extended family and then struggled to explain how you were related to that person to someone else? One time I was talking about something that happened to my Dad’s half brother’s son Toby, my wife was struggling to understand who the half brother was and how I was related to them.

Seeing the people in the relationships in between helps to connect the dots and understand the relationship better and it does not take 1000 words, just a good simple diagram.

When you show the diagram to someone and then explain my Father John has a half brother Sam because his father Fred had a relationship with Patricia before Fred met Dorothy. Patricia and Fred had Sam who married Rebecca and they had Toby
