This week I learned of my connection to Stephen King and movie stars acting in the King
movies. I am:

21 degrees from Stephen King
19 degrees from Lauren Bacall
17 degrees from Kathy Bates
23 degrees from Miguel Ferrer
22 degrees from Morgan Freeman
20 degrees from Fred Gwynne
18 degrees from Tom Hanks
17 degrees from Everett Marshall
21 degrees from Jack Nicholson
20 degrees from Christopher Plummer
18 degrees from Sissy Spacek
22 degrees from Donald Sutherland

It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians physicians, detectives, actors,
comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are. WikiTree.com
helps me gather this information with their weekly newsletters.

If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me
some basic information by going to: https://www.hobbyline.com/genealogy_web_design.htm and click on the 'Request Form'
link.

I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.

I am 18 degrees from Kevin Bacon. I guess that makes us distant cousins.
Are you into genealogy?

His example seemed more about the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, which is about people being in films with him. Or a similar thing with Erd”s in Mathematics, which is connecting people who wrote a paper with him.

None of which are a genetic connection.

But genealogy can be fun, especially as you find out more random things of interest. E.g., a trip I took that had a lot of interesting things, including going to a church that an ancestor had been baptized at, and finding out that I'm probably related to some of the people who go to that church _now_.

Everyone on this planet is a distant cousin of someone else.
This planet is populated by cousins. :D

That is very true, and the purpose of the website http://wikitree.com where I get my information from. They send a weekly newsletter to list how we are all connected as one big family.
