Yes I was already aware that my third great grandfather, was the second great grandfather of both my mother and of my father and so it is no longer a startling although as a p[rofessional biologist when I first discovered this about 18 years ago it horrified me!!. What I was questioning was the significance of the + symbol, and now thanks to the responses from Cathy and Steve I know what it means

That will give you the how. It simply means that somewhere in your tree amongst his ancestors you have people who are blood related marrying whether that be 1st cousins or more distant relatives. Very common but a bit startling if you weren't aware of it. Once you look at what the Relationship Calculator says, you'll be able to say: Oh - that's right or - OOPS I've got some people connected wrongly.

I can see how I may have two different relationships with another distant person on my tree but I can’t see how my father can have two relationships to me. Can you explain.
