I have to say I'm stunned by this comment suggesting it's "disrespectful" to include the ancestors of a 3rd cousin in my tree.  This seems backwards at the very least.  I worked my way up my tree to my 2x great-grandparents, entered all of their children – my great-grandfather's siblings – and then worked my way back down their trees to identify by grandmother's 1st cousins, and my mother's 2nd cousins and ... voila, my 3rd cousins.  This seems like such a fundamental part of genealogy,  I can't imagine how you could do otherwise.  Am I missing something?
