This is a glossary of how family relations within The Genesis Project are identified. Some words are very similar to how such family relations are normally identified, while others have entirely new words due to the unusual nature of a single-gender community. There is also a generic family tree below to help illustrate the relations as well. Uncles, cousins, nephews, and grandsons are not placed into the tree because doing so becomes cumbersome, but are used in the traditional ways.
