The other day I was playin around with FTM 2005 and under View it has a relationship calculator so I gave it a try. Some of the results were puzzling. Person Relationship Civil Canon My Mom Mother 1 1 3rd Cousin V111 4 My Dad Father 1 1 Husband of 3rd Cousin twice removed Brother/Sister Brother/Sister 11 1 3rd Cousin once removed 1X 5 Me Self 0 3rd Cousin once removed 1X 5 I understand how the Civil and Canon systems work. What I don't understand is how my mom can be both my mother and 3rd Cousin. Anyone any idea how this is calculated. Thanks Malcolm

Blimey, you dont live in the southern states of the US do you? Must be an error unless there was some cousins marrying way back?
