I've just found out my wife and I are distant cousins. How can I connect her and her ancestors to our common ancestor?

My 29th great-grandfather was my wife's 26th great-grandfather. I have already several generations of my wife's ancestors going back, and I want to know how I can connect them to our common ancestor.

I am also looking for an answer ... except that my father-in-law and my mother-in-law were 1st cousins.

I believe you will change your wife's 25th great-grandfather's dad to your 29th great-grandfather. You do this with the "Change or delete" button, then "Change Parent".
