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.

    I’d say even one’s parents are technically ancestors, though they might not take kindly to being referred to as such :)

    I think all ancestors are relatives, but not all relatives are ancestors. Aunts and cousins and such are relatives, but not ancestors, as you are not directly descended from them.
