Let me start by telling you how I'm related to these folks. Edgar and Ada Streit are my 1st cousins, 3 times removed.
Like this:
Dellitt Elizabeth Wilson (me)>my mom>her mom Dellitt Elizabeth Jenkins>her mom Ada May Wingerter (1st cousin of Edgar and Ada Streit)>her father David Wingerter (Ada and Edgar's uncle)>his parents John Wingerter and Barbara Dellitt
Edgar and Ada Streit>Catherine D. Wingerter (David's younger sister)>John Wingerter and Barbara Dellit
First cousins because there is just one intervening generation between Edgar and Ada and our common ancestors, John and Barbara Wingerter. 3 times removed because first cousins not removed are the same generation, once removed are the children or parents of your first cousin, and twice removed are the grandchildren or grandparents of your first cousins, and 3 times removed if they are the great grandchildren or great grandparents of your first cousin.
Obviously, I'm only related to Martha through her marriage to Edgar.
Notice that Streit is spelled a few different ways in these sources: Street and Strite besides Streit.
