In the latest update from FamilySearch.org (not an advertisement from Ancestry), I have received notice of various Famous Relatives. George Washington is my seventh cousin, six times removed! I do have more confidence in The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints telling me there is a connection than I do when Ancestry gives a clue based on someone else’s guess. But, I still will go through the entire line up to our Most Recenct Common Ancestor Couple to verify.

The list of people that want to be related to me is:

• Benjamin Franklin (4c10r)
• Emily Dickinson (6c4r)
• Susan B Anthony (6c5r)
• Franklin D Roosevelt (7c3r)
• George Washington (7c6r)
• Winston Churchill (7c2r)
• Helen Keller (8c2r)
• Lucille Ball (8c1r)
• Walt Disney (8c2r) — wonder if I can get a family discount
• Abraham Lincoln (9c5r)
• John Wayne (9c1r)
• Shirley Temple (9c1r)
• Wilbur Wright (9c4r) — I assume Orville will also count
• Bob Ross (10c)
• Elvis Presley (10c1r)
• Ginger Rogers (10c1r)
• Jane Austen (10c2r)
• Judy Garland (10c2r)
• Diana, Princess of Wales (10c)
• Queen Elizabeth II (10c3r)
• Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (11c2r)
• Kate Sheppard (11c2r) – all the way from New Zealand
• Fred Rogers (12c) — Mr. Rogers
• Mary Tyler Moore
• Margaret Thatcher

But, not today, since I had planned on verifying some of my DNA matches from Ancestry, using only actual documents, not the trees that gave the clues that had Ancestry add the matches to my ancestor in Thru Lines. So, today, I am researching my Stoner family members. I confirmed the lineage of 3 today!
