“the civil law degree of kinship is ascertained by counting from the juror to the common ancestor to the interested party.... [T]he correct method of computation is to count the 'steps' or generations from one ancestor to the next counting each 'step' or generation as one degree, and not to count each ancestor as a degree. If the sum is within the sixth degree, the juror is disqualified to serve in the matter.”
