If you ever had to do a family tree and tried to explain generational relationships to someone else, you know how quickly you can sink into a quagmire of cousinship. Wikipedia offers explanations of the various cousin relationships, including the mystifying cross cousins and double cousins. The site also has a grid and a diamond-shaped chart that will tell you if a person is someone's first cousin or seventh cousin twice removed based on a common ancestor. A helpful family tree layout shows how cousins are related to the person in question based on grandparents. Many thanks to Amanda Morrow for finding this gem.

Do you have a fantastic prospect who lives outside your primary constituent geographies? No worries. This site links to sites with official airline route maps for the U.S. Use them to figure out how to hop, skip and jump your development officers to out-of-the-way stops on the way to or from one of your organization's primary regions.
You can also use the maps to set up geographic codes in your database so these live-in-the-sticks folks can be included on the reports for locations that staff members frequently visit. I like to use a code that contains abbreviations for the airline, primary city and state and layover city and state.
