	Hi Jan If you put her into FTM or similar, it will tell you what relation she is, e.g. 19th cousin 47 times removed or whatever - but does it matter? If you want her in your tree, put her in. You can remove her later. You never know, you might get a contact with her 19th cousin only 46 times removed and find a new family link you never knew existed. Just do it. Margaret
