Marilyn,
You are on
ancestry.com and they have a relationship calculator built
into the program.

Family tree software packages differ, but under the "Tools" menu, mine
has an option "Relationship Calculator" that makes such questions
easy.
You either see a relationship such as the above, or the message "There
is no documented relationship between these two people."
"Documented" in
this case meaning the data you've entered into your database so fare
doesn't show it.
My free database/tree package also includes a "Date Calculator"
feature
that's great. You can enter:
a) a start date and number of days to see an end date;
b) an end date and number of days to see a start date; or
c) two dates to see the difference in years, months, days.
And you see calendars for the start or end date in question. I find
that
very helpful. Frequently when I read archives of old newspapers, an
article may just say something like "Mrs. Jones died at her home
Sunday
and the funeral was held Tuesday." And perhaps the article has a
byline
of March 5, 1874. Or there's no byline, but you know from the page
heading the date and day of the week of publication. You can figure
all
that out in your head, beginning with "Was 1874 a leap year?" But it's
less headache --- and less error prone --- to use the date
calculator. I
love it!
If your genealogy database package doesn't have a date calculator
feature, there are date calculator websites that are free.
