Taylor Swift Is Related to Emily Dickinson

From Google:


The "sixth cousin" part means that the individuals are related through a common ancestor who is six generations back.
The "three times removed" part indicates the difference in generations between the cousins and their common ancestor. In this case, it signifies that one individual is three generations removed (either older or younger) from the common ancestor compared to the other individual.

Also Google, but I think it just gets more confusing.


To determine the possible common ancestor between two individuals who are sixth cousins three times removed, we would need to look back six generations in their family trees to find the shared ancestor.

For example, let's say that Person A and Person B are sixth cousins three times removed. Person A's great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparent (6 generations back) would be the same as Person B's great-great-great-grandparent (3 generations removed from the common ancestor). Therefore, their common ancestor would be their great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparent.

In this scenario, the common ancestor would likely be someone born around 200-250 years ago, depending on the specific ages of Person A and Person B.

It's important to note that genealogy can be complex, and researching family history often involves verifying information through records, documentation, and additional research to confirm relationships and common ancestors accurately.
