| Jan 28, 2018 at 0:20 | comment | added | sempaiscuba | @JanMurphy I agree, I think I'd have VtC'd on the basis of 'unclear what you're asking' in the hope that they then edited and clarified the question. I probably still wouldn't have voted to reopen (based on the discussion in comments), but at least by then we'd have been clear on exactly why it was off-topic for this site! ;-) | |
| Jan 26, 2018 at 18:56 | comment | added | Jan Murphy Mod | I've added a link to my answer on genealogy.stackexchange.com/a/6821/1006 to include Judy G. Russell's post on shirt-tail relatives so the question could be closed as a duplicate of that question. That may be the most appropriate response. But I could make a case for "unclear what you're asking" because we don't know what "are they my family" means to the person asking the question. Are they asking us for permission to include them in their family tree, or a reason to exclude them? Or what? That's not our determination to make. | |
