So shouldn't that make me and my ex-husband blood related if we are both blood related to Anne Silloway? It's not showing a blood relationship. I can't figure out why it's not showing my ex and I as blood relatives.
'

You are related to Anne Silloway through her mother, Agnes, while your ex-husband is related to Anne through her father, John. You are only blood relatives with someone if you share a common ancestor with them. Anne is not a common ancestor for the two of you, rather she is a common relative. If you try to picture this connection it is shaped like a W, if that makes sense. Here is a visual representation of what your connections look like: https://www.geni.com/images/missing_image.png

I hope my explanation made sense!
