How could I find the next, or 2nd or 3rd, way I am related to someone on the Relationship Finder?

Question

For instance, if the Relationship Finder brings up someone who is marked as being "Uncertain," is there a way to skip around them?  Happy New Year!!!!

Answer 1

The relationship finder gives you your closest relationship with a given "person"; it won't by itself, give you 2nd, 3rd, etc.  If you  are related to the person through your father's side, check out your mom's relationship with that person.  You could be 3rd cousins on your father's side and 4th cousins on  your mom's.  This way you can work your way backwards to a given person.  The relationship finder will give up to 15 generations on the first go and 30 on the 2nd one.

Answer 2

Once you've run the Relationship Finder, if you look below the green-lined box at the top of the page that says 'Relationship Found', there should be a yellow-lined box that says 'Explore More'. There's a drop-down menu there which lists your other common ancestors, usually starting with the spouse of the first result (unless you're descended from different marriages of your common ancestor).
