Russ,thank you for your reply. They both had the same parents. I had the same thought and went in to check that I had not entered the mother twice for some reason but she is the only entry, it is an unusual name, Sara Johanna Doelnif Van Die KAAP so it would not be accidently entered twice.{:-) I removed the husband's name from Legacy and then checked the relationship and I get the same answer, Half 3rd Cousin once removed. Most strange.

Did you check to see that there were not two marriages in the line. Russ From: Colin Liddell Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 9:09 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Relationship Problem I am hoping someone on the List will able to explain a relationship problem to me. Just recently I found a distant cousin on Ancestry, it turns out my g grandmother is the sister of her gg grandmother. As she is one step out in the relationship, my first thought was she was my 3rd cousin once removed but I thought I would check this with the relationship calculator on Legacy and when I did I was told that this lady is my Half third cousin once removed. Can anyone explain to me what the word "Half" means. I look forward to what you clever folks can tell me. Colin.
