I have a lot of people I want to find out how I'm related to and I want to find out HOW I'm related to them.

If you are doing Genealogy, you should really spend the $29 for Roots Magic or $39 for FTM. Once your data is in - preferably via a GEDCOM - all you do is select the two people and it computes.
Doing genealogy without a program is like trying to write a book without using "Word" or a similar program.

These are a few good sites, each offers a 10 generation calculator:
www.iarelative.com/charts --a 10-generation chart that can printed out into a single, 8 1/2 by 11 sheet (click on the RED link) with instructions how to use it.
www.genealogy.about.com--has all kinds of links to genealogy in left column (in red), plus a cousin calculator in the center column.
www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc : has a downloadable cousin calculator, but you will need JAVASCRIPT to run the program. Or, at www.iroots.net/tools/cusncalc/#BORING_TABULAR_VERSION is a 10-generation chart that can be printed off.

I gave Ted a thumbs up but if you are working with Ancestry.com, have you already downloaded the FTW program and started working with that? If so, you already have the relationship calculator. My computer sort of crashed on me recently and just got it back but my program isn't working or I'd guide you through the steps.

To find HOW you are related to anyone, requires a comparison of your ancestry to their ancestry.
To the best of what I know, ancestry does not show info about someone living, meaning you. What is normally used for 'working' relationships is your ancestry and someone else's ancestors in the same file. Assuming you have worked your lineage and have it in a file on your system, AND the files from ancestry can be downloaded, then they can be merged. (not a good idea, if you are not experienced).
Bottom line is that without your own info (which should not be posted online!!), there is nothing to compare with.

Got to agree with Ted here; Roots Magic is an EXCELLENT program, despite a few minor bugs. You can also download the LDS church's program, Personal Ancestry File (aka "PAF") for free from their web site, and I believe it has a relationship calculator as well.
