I think I have figured out at least one set of great-great grandparents on my birth father's side, but I have not yet figured out where I fit into this insane mess. I'm kind of worried that it's going to turn out that my birth father was a lot older than my 16 year old birth mother and that's going to creep me out.

That does sound really difficult, keeping track. Could you maybe screenshot parts of it and mark up the screenshot? Or print it out and mark with a highlighter? It seems like the program should have something like that built in though....

And I hope you don't learn that about your birth father.
