Colleen, the mother of Harold's son, Sweyn I "Forkbeard", king of Denmark, Norway & England is unknown or at least unrepresented, and you are descended through him. Gunhild was recently (i.e. in 2019) disconnected from Sweyn as his mother.
Honestly: Who Sweyn's mother is, varies, depending on what source you read. thepeerage states Gyrid, Wikipedia: Gunhild or Tove. etc etc.
I just selected the first one.
In any case I can guarantee you that your path up to this level in the tree have a lot of errors which should be fixed before you can claim that "Blue Tooth" is an ancestor, which I doubt anyone can.
Sorry about that, Colleen. It worked for me, :D
The Relationship Calculator (although a wonderful and very handy tool) doesn't always give us what would normally seem to be the logical answers (or what we're looking for in particular situations), so sometimes I have to apply some additional logic to it, myself (a terrifying thought :D).
But obviously if Gyrid is Sweyn's mother, and Sweyn is your 32nd g-grandfather -- then doing the usual genealogical math --- she should be your 33rd g-grandmother (in addition to being your first cousin, if that's also the case).
Apparently the Calculator likes to provide the shortest route, which for you is evidently the cousin kinship in Gyrid's case. Sometimes I am able to 'outsmart' or somehow 'persuade' the Calculator to show me what I already know should be there (grandparents). But it gets very complicated with the most ancient families having so many multiple kinship connections (putting it delicately).
Gyrid Olafsdotter, Danish queen consort is your 29th great grandmother.

My problem with using the Relationship Calculator with ancients like
Harald "Blue Tooth", king of Denmark is that most of them go through Christen Christensen Thrane, d.e. who is very likely my 10th great grandfather. But then gives as his mother Kirsten Pallesdatter Splid Fasti. His mother was likely a Kirsten Palesdtter but it is very unlikely that she is the same person as Kirsten Pallesdatter Splid Fasti. The statement from Bjørn Box "Curator Note from Bjørn P. Brox (9/7/2011):
usikker identitet, usikre foreldre" leaves me wondering if there is someway to kill that ancestral line so that other more likely lines would appear.
Now, Bjørn, you are using arguments you yourself have said plenty of times that we shouldn't use. It's always up to the one making an argument for a relationship being correct (which you did by chosing the first one, implying that it is that relationship that is correct) that has to prove it. You know well it is impossible to prove that two persons didn't have a relationship. Claiming that there is a relationship between two persons (as you did Bjørn, by connecting two persons) is false genealogical information if there are no good sources for it. So come up with the sources or disconnect what you connected if you can't find good reliable sources for the relationship you selected.
Argumenting that any spouse of Harald is probably an ancestor anyhow is bad genealogical work and a very bad argument, and you know this. I know you both know and can do better.
As I want to repeat: There is source differences on who was Sveins mother, but it is better to select one of them than none as the situation was.
In any case it does not matter, - it is not this area that is the problematic area - they are as I said above in generations much closer to us.
Instead of complaining about and cutting connections as you are doing in this area where we actually HAVE sources, even if they are just sagas, - they are stil sources.
It would be better that you help in the areas you might have knowledge on finding sources - in the middle of the lines up to this area where professional genealogists have added so many false connections to give their customers value for their money by giving them noble and royal ancestors. One published they return like viruses. The most common way was adding a maternal connection, - in a time period where the mothers never is mentioned in sources, so they cannot be proved or disproved.
Bjørn, I'm disconnecting profiles due to lack of reliable sources in the timeperiod 1300 to 1600 every day, but I never connect profiles where there are no good sources like you have done here.
"There is source differences on who was Sveins mother, but it is better to select one of them than none as the situation was." This is completly wrong, it is never better to select one of them than none when there are no good sources confirm any of them. Then you're just propagating false genealogy, which you have plenty of times told us that you're against. Have you changed your mind?
And the Sagas aren't sources for genealogical information, that has been refuted and dismissed by medieval historians during the last 30 years. They are good political stories and the genealogies in are only political so that Harald Hårfagre can be related to to the important kings in South east Norway that ruled there before him and so that Ole Tryggvason, Olav Haraldson and Harald Hardråde can be a descendant of Harald Hårfagre, and none of it is true, it's just fictional made up in the late 12th and early 13th Century.
I wonder if anyone has a comment on this person. He appears to be the same as Harald Bluetooth Gormson.

There seems to be some mix up here about this Helfast De Crepon. I found this stub on Wikipedia and according to the information's there, his parents are unknown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herfast_de_Cr%C3%A9pon
I also found this on Geneanet.org and after studying what is written there - I praised the Heavens for DNA researches. The name there "Herfast" could probably be the same Helfast De Crepon (browse down the site):
https://gw.geneanet.org/fgautier1?lang=en&pz=francois&nz=ga...
Geneanet isn't completely trustworthy (it's just another glorified family tree), and that entry in particular contains some problems. "Agnés Sibelle de CREPON" is not supported by any documentation whatsoever (and note that this entry provides none either). There is no documented Montgommery connection in this generation.
As for Gonnor (Gunnora), she did *not* marry Richard I "Sans Peur" of Normandy until she had already had several children with him. She began as his *concubine* because he already had a legal wife - who, however, died young and childless, and as soon as she was buried, he and Gunnora finally got married.
MedLands is to be preferred because Cawley *does* provide primary documentation, when he can get it. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORMANDY.htm#RichardIdied996B, https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/normacre.htm#GunnoraMRichardINormandy
