For me it’s my 5th great grandmother anyone further back in the tree is my ancestor because I think 6 greats is a bit much.

    Anybody that died before I was born, and descended from. Which is easier for me because it is all of my great -greats and older.

    I wouldn’t go that far. I think your great grandparents are relatives, and anyone further back is an ancestor. I might stretch to great great grandparents, but I don’t think I’d go any further
