My great great great grandfather’s frist wife had one child and I am his descendant. My great great great grandfather remarried a woman who was the sister of a man that was the ancestor of my friend. Is it a small word after all? are we related, eg. step cousins in law or the such. Just wondering

Two of your respective ancestors were step cousins - I think that's as clearly as it can be expressed. – Kate Bunting Apr 11 '22 at 12:26

Everybody is related through some common ancestor. In practice, if the relationship is very tenuous you might not say "we are related", or if you said "we're related" someone might say "not really", but there's no hard-and-fast cut-off point. – Stuart F Apr 11 '22 at 19:37
