My grandfather's (dad's side) aunt on his mother's side was married twice. I have always assumed the first husband would be related to my grandfather's dad's side as the names are the same and we seem to be related to everyone in the area with that name. I have struggled over the years to make the connection. I made the connection tonight. To recap, she is my 2nd great-great aunt on my grandfather's mother's side. He is my 2nd cousin 4 times removed on my grandfather's father's side. Here is the kicker. The 2nd cousin's 2nd wife is my 3rd cousin 5 times removed on my MOTHER's side. Did you keep all of that straight? So the kids from the first marriage are related to my dad (twice) and the kids from the second marriage are related to both of my parents.
