The Kinship calculator lets you easily see if two people are related and how they are related. With kinship we mean that two people have a common ancestor in a direct line.

The Kinship calculator consists of a pedigree with a graphical view of the relationship between two people; Person 1 and Person 2. You choose which people to be compared below the pedigree. Person 1 automatically becomes the person who is the main person. You can also change persons with the Individual search tool.

  If you want to compare a person with a certain group of people, put the person you want to compare as Person 2 and open the group as a individual list. Highlighted person in the list changes Person 1 and you can easily go through the list..

  How to prepare a list (group) of relatives for a person:

  1. Make sure to seek (or select) the same person for both the person 1 and one person 2.
  2. Click the search button in the main menu or use keyboard command F3.
