What are the most convoluted/complex family relationships in your genealogy?

Question

There were some 1st-cousin marriages in my lineage way back but they're far from the most confusing relationship.

My g-g-grandmother Amanda married her first husband, George (a widower with 10 children) when she was 22 and he was about 65. They had 4 children, the oldest being Becky. When Geo. died she married a man her own age and had 4 more, the oldest being Henry.

Emily, George's granddaughter by his first wife, married J.L. and had a daughter, Kitty. When Em. died JL married Becky, Em's [half-]aunt, though she was 10 years younger. George and Em's daughter Kitty married Amanda and her 2nd husband's son Henry and had my grandfather.

These marriages made Amanda my grandfather's grandmother, [step] g. grandmother, [step] g.g. grandmother], and Becky his [half] aunt, [step]grandmother, and [half]g.g. aunt. Her kids were his aunts/uncles and first cousins.

Any strange relationships that don't involve actual inbreeding in your line? I'd love to hear about them.

Answer 1

When I remarried, I learned that my ex and present husbands (not raised in same state or anything) are 7th cousins.  That makes my daughters both step daughters to my husband and 7th cousins once removed.  They thought that was hilarious.

It might not be earth shaking as far as convoluted, but am grateful for any fresh questions. *smile*

Answer 2

I know a family ,who the mother and father got married  after being married previously when he had a son and she had a daughter and they then had another daughter together  ,the son and daughter from the first marriages(not related by blood) are now married to each other and have a daughter this makes the grandaughter a sister and a neice the the daughter the parents had together ,strange
