Frank Morgan (nee Francis Phillip Wuppermann — wonder why he didn’t use that for his stage name) played the title role in the Wizard of Oz. We’re Related goes down the yellow brick road to our MRCA, Elizabeth Starkey (1614-1684) who happens to be only two generations beyond my documented 7th great grandmother, Lydia Dean (1679-1726). So, the Great OZ might just actually be my 8th cousin, twice removed. I’ll check with Auntie Em and see if the theory sets off any flying monkeys….
