Instructions:

For Consanguinity (relationship by blood) calculations:

Place the public officer/employee for whom you need to establish relationship by consanguinity in the blank box. The labeled boxes will then list the relationships by title to the public officer/employee. Anyone in a box numbered 1,
2, or 3 is within the third degree of consanguinity. Nevada Ethics in Government Law addresses consanguinity within third degree by blood, adoption or marriage.

For Affinity (relationship by marriage) calculations:

Place the spouse of the public officer/employee for whom you need to establish relationship by affinity in the blank box. The labeled boxes will then list the relationships by title to the spouse and the degree of distance from the
public officer/employee by affinity. A husband and wife are related in the first degree by marriage. For other relationships by marriage, the degree is the same as the degree of underlying relationship by blood.
