I am doing a tree for a work mate of my OH so she can give it to her Mum,

We are both in Spain , I have found out her Dad is related distantly , but I have now discovered she is encroaching my tree on her Mums side also !

Weird ??

I know that take a place you will be related but the chance of being in Spain and asking a workmates wife to do your Mums tree ...and find they are distant related to BOTH sides of your family ?? I'm more scared about it than she may be mind !! and its only her tree married into my tree ( I hope !! )

As for her Dad wellllll if they allow me to do his I think we are definatly distant cousins ! like 3rd or 4th
