What's the connection?

Post by Grendlsmother » Wed Feb 24, 2010 6:50 pm

A few minutes ago I clicked on "Talking Scot" on my favourite bar and my pc came up the a message that it could not find the connection. It then went on to suggest what I might be looking for. The first suggestion was "talking" - fair enough. However, it then made nine other suggestions, all of which were really awful illnesses or diseases. Where do they get these ideas from!!!

Obviously a second try got me on.

Hi.
If you have a GGGrandFather's descendant and a GGrandmother's descendant, how are the two descendants related (the GGGF & GGM were siblings)?

Hi Dennis,
I believe they would be 3rd cousins once removed. :D At least that's what my genealogy program says of a similar relationship in my family.

Regards,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Yes, I had forgotten about Legacy's relationship calculator.

Thanks on that:)
