I have done the genealogy on several family trees, and recently needed to find out how two people were related. I found Relative Finder (the link below), a free (I love free) website that works with FamilySearch.org, the free (ditto) genealogy website. I signed on, selected the "Connect" option on the left-hand side, then selected the "See the relationship between two deceased people" option. I entered my FamilySearch ID in the first input box and Robert Jacob Fleckenstein's FamilySearch ID in the second. The results are shown below, but I did have to perform some cut-and-paste to make it readable.
The relationship of "1st Cousin 1 time removed" takes some explaining. The "1 time removed" means Robert and I are separated by one generation, with Robert being older. "1st Cousins" would normally mean we share the same grandparents, but since we are a generation apart, that's not possible. Our common ancestor, Joseph Eggenschwiller, is Robert's Grandfather, but my Great-grandfather.
Relative Finder can be found at the link below.
