I have just made contact with someone who shares some ancestry with me in the 1840's - my Great Great Great Grandmother and their Great Grandfather were sister and brother - what relation does that make us to each other!!??
This is v. confusing!

Count the 'G's
the smaller: Great Grandfather = 2 = Second cousin
The Larger - the smaller: Great Great Great Grandmother = 4 - 2 = Twice removed.

I make them 3rd cousins twice removed.

Same Father is sibling
Same Grandfather is cousin.
Same Great Grandfather is second cousin
That's what I read in the original post of "my Great Great Great Grandmother and their Great Grandfather were sister and brother"

Relooking that was pointing to siblings so the common ancestor was one more generation so yes 3rd cousin twice removed.

that'll teach me to scan instead of take time out to read. But counting the G's to the common ancestor still works.
