Answer 1

Wikitree claims I'm 12 degrees away but I'm not - it's through a bogus marriage that I haven't been able to disconnect!

Answer 2

WikiTree says I'm twelve degrees away, but I'm a little suspicious of one of the connections, and it's through my dad's on-paper father who we haven't confirmed to be his biological father so may actually be thirteen degrees.

The eighteen degrees connection that makes us fourth cousins eight times removed, now, that one I'm confident of.
