There's loads of mistakes on there. You cannot follow other people's trees blindly either. I seen some howlers on quite close family's trees :-0 :-D :-D |

Never go with what Ancestry says as it's a best guess that's all you need all the possibilities |

Yes it is far more simple than it looks. Play with a few numbers to see it change around. |

So the top number is an estimated average and the bottom numbers are the anticipated range? |

cMs or centiMorgans. Just their way of measuring the links. You just total the amount and that gives you the possibilities. The greater the number the closer the relationship of course and like all things human the amount past on is variable therefore there are ranges for each relationship and of course many can be in a similar range. |

No they are just stabbing at a possibility - there are 2 more sets of possibles on the list I haven't even posted, there are dozens of possibilities. You have it on paper and the DNA test backs that range - end of story. Start using the painter to show ALL possible links not what some one put a pin in. ;-) |

So that means we are 3rd Cousins Pat? and not Half 3rd Cousins as they suggested? |

You have nothing to worry about you are in the range of possible 3rd cousins |
