  CP: Common Progenitor (in layman's terms, your common ancestor)
 S-D: Son or Daughter
 B-S: Brother or Sister
   C: Cousin
  xR: Times Removed
   G: Grand
  GG: Great-Grand
 xGG: Number of Greats-Grand
   N: Nephew or Niece

 To use: Find your relationship to your common progenitor using the
         up-down column all the way to the left.
         Find the other person's relationship to your common
         progenitor using the row along the top.
         Follow the row and column until they meet, and that is your
         relationship with the other person.

 Example: Let's say my g-g-g-grandfather is a common progenitor to a
 person who is related to me.  Let's also say that my g-g-g-grandfather
 is the_other_person's g-grandfather.  So, I look on the left and go
 down to where it says 3GGS.  That is_my_row.  The other person's column
 is GGS, along the top.  Follow them until they meet, and you get 2C2R.
 He's my 2nd cousin, twice removed.

 This chart can be easily expanded in both directions.
