You will notice that all the relationships on the chart are recorded for males. Substitute mother, daughter, niece and aunt when figuring the relationships between women. The difference between your relationship to an ancestor and the ancestor's relationship to you is marked on the chart - 4 GG Father & 4 gg son. Your relationship to your cousins is the same as their relationship to you.
