13 degrees and 11th great grandmother according to the relationship finder.
Family lore is that I am direct descendant of Priscilla- but so far I haven't found a direct link.  According to relationship finder its 13 degrees - not direct. My family has deep roots in SE Massachusetts (Plymouth Colony) and I still haven't flushed out all the connections.
She is my 10th Great Grandmother ❤
Priscilla is allegedly my 11th great-grandmother through my biological father. I am working to either prove or disprove this.  

The connection tool yet again shows the connection as coming through my maternal uncle's 2nd wife, the same as it does for every single connection it shows me.
14 degrees. I am new at this

no blood relation
