Ancestry proposes that Mickey Mantle is my 9th cousin, twice removed through our MRCA, PRIVATE (XXXX-XXXX)!  In my line, they have PRIVATE’s daughter, PRIVATE as the next generation and in “cousin Mickey’s” line they have PRIVATE as the next generation as the connectors.   Not a line of pedigree to follow here!    All of the PRIVATE entries were from the 1600s — conclusion is that they are the result of someone’s guess, not research.  So, no claim to The Mick!
