Relatedness when GG Grand Aunt marries G Grand Uncle
« on: Sunday 24 October 21 05:22 BST (UK) »
My GG Grand Aunt married my Great Grand Uncle. What relationship is their child to me - do I take the male line (so 1st C 2R) or the 'oldest' relationship (ie. from my GGGAunt, so 1st C 3R) ?
Thanks.

Technically you are both .

Regardless of male or female line for DNA purposes i would go with closest relationship.

Any descendandants of this couple might show up as closer than 1st cousin2R
