A kinship chart shows how each person is related or connected to the others and their family or community. Different cultures have different ways of describing relatives.

An example from Ghana is shown below:

Me	My Parents	My Grandparents
Ohene Boateng	Father – Twum Boateng	Grandfather – John Kwame Boateng
		Grandmother – Nana Kyene
My Brothers/ Sisters Akwasi Boateng, Darkwa Boateng, Kwadwo Boateng	Mother – Akosua Obiri	Grandfather – Samuel Obiri
		Grandmother – Afua Anamuah-Mensah
