Did a ancestry blood test and a woman I never met came up as my great aunt. She also came up as a first cousin to my first cousin. She was adopted and her mother was in a place for unwed mothers. She was mixed.
I'm wondering why she came up as a cousin to my cousin but a great aunt to me ?

Is she the daughter of your great grandfather?

@Selena yes, she would have to be the daughter of one of them.

She’s your first cousin’s first cousin but not your first cousin?

I’m close to figuring this out! 😂

@Selena 😆 yes that's what it says but I think maybe they just couldn't figure out how she was related to her.
