Some Important Tips for finding out the relationship between two people:

1. First of all choose the two persons, between whom the family relationship is to be established.
2. Next, pinpoint the intermediate relationship between the two persons i.e., such relationship through which long drawn relationship can be established between the required persons.
3. Finally, conclude the relationship directly between the two persons as you are interested to know.
4. From a person’s name, we cannot know the sex (gender). The name does not always show the gender beyond a reasonable doubt.
