How close is my connection to one or both of her parents? Would that connection be about 2,370 cM`s?

    FamilySearch is not involved in DNA testing. The Ancestry website has reams of information to help you understand your results. https://support.ancestry.com/s/ancestrydna?language=en_US

    And in your results, you can see the estimated connection by clicking on the hyperlink of the shared amount.

    This is quite a useful (though slightly technical and complicated) tool for determining a relationship based on a the size of a DNA match: https://dnapainter.com/tools/sharedcmv4
