Forest & Sky have inherited a genealogy that includes ancestors in Taiwan,
England, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, and possibly Native America
(so far a rumor). This diverse heritage fortifies their unique identities in the
world and has granted each good health, competitive intelligence, and a handsome
appearance.
Below are lists of their relatives. In the notation, "G"
means both "great" and "grandparent", so 4GG means "4th
great grandparent". "C" means "cousin" and "R"
means "removed". So 2C3R means "second cousin thrice removed",
or 20C5R means "twentieth cousin five times removed". (The higher
the cousin number, the more distant the common ancestor from either Forest/Sky or
the cousin, and the higher the removed number, the more generations are different
between Forest/Sky and the cousin. So, a 20th cousin is much more distantly related
than a 5th cousin... And 5 times removed means either Forest/Sky or the cousin has
fewer generations of separation from the common ancestor. Because Forest & Sky are young, in all the below cases a removed cousin has fewer generations
to the common ancestor than Forest/Sky, which means the cousin was born earlier.)
A "Half" cousin means that only a single ancestor is shared, rather
than a couple. This happens when an ancestor has more than one spouse, and Forest/Sky
are descended from one spouse and the cousin descended from another.

FOREST & SKY'S NOTABLE COUSINS
In most cases, Forest & Sky share many common ancestors with these individuals,
making them cousins in various ways. We list here the closest known full collateral
relationships, and if none, the closest known half collateral relationships (the
earliest common ancestors, in parentheses). Common ancestors generally come
in pairs, so when I say there are "2 more common ancestors" what I
mean is that there are 2 more couples who are common ancestors, unless they
are half-relationships.
