Hi Judy T, I think it was 2 DNA conferences ago where the admins convinced IT that we needed more that 1st cousin, 2nd cousin, 3rd cousin, etc. So they took 1st through 4th cousins and added once removed and twice removed. They did not do this for 5th or 6th. But we got something.
So, it's your choice if you want to pick 4C2R (4th cousin 2x removed) or just 4C and make a note of it on your notepad underneath the match's name that it's really a 4C3R. There is an option for 5th and 6th cousins. No options for removed. Beyond 6th cousins there's a "Distant Cousin" option that I use and on that little notepad I write the kind of cousin and who our common ancestors are. I'm doing the common ancestors on everybody. I'm starting to see some of the same matches show up on different DNA accounts (someone matches my mom on her Logans but is matching my dad on his Bedfords). The notepad helps keep me straight!
