Thank you. Definitely a cut-and-paste malfunction!

I submit a correction (still in proofreading mode):

If N = 0, A is the (M – 2)th great grandparent of B, where the 0th great grandparent is defined as “grandparent,” the –1st great grandparent is defined as “parent,” and the –2nd great grandparent is defined as “self.”

Wow! Brother Rich did our family genealogy and explained it all, but he's a materials science person, not a computer nerd or mathematician, so used different words! "x cousin" means same generation as each other, whether first or second or third; "once removed" refers to the two people being in different generations from each other - once is one generation below, twice is two generations (e.g. the grandchild of a cousin.) What a mind you have!

There, now I've done it!
