  • Generally, one describes a person by the closest known relationship. For instance, everyone (through pedigree collapse) is also nth cousin to everyone else but we use call them siblings, parents, etc. (or whatever the case may be). – bgwiehle Dec 29 '17 at 14:13
  • @bgwiehle That I understand. But my question was rather about such a case: a person marries her uncle, let us say she is from 4th generation - counting from patriarch, and he from 3rd generation. What can we say about generation of the children from that marriage? Probably they are from both 4th and 5th generations? Is there the "canonical" way of presenting such a case in descendants pedigree chart? – user7464 Dec 30 '17 at 22:09
