comments

Notice: Maybe for many others as for me, this person is a 2nd line to Peter Browne. This person is also a Great Grandmother as well as a COUSIN. This will happen, as it does here for me, as this family splits into cousins and then rejoins generations later as grandparents, with relative's who show as cousins but are also Grandparents. Afterwhich the line becomes grandparents once more. Geni can not handle a grandparent split such as this. So the programing calls them Uncles, Aunts and cousins. Geni will only give you one grandparent line, not a split line, as will often happen with Mayflower descendants.
