re: #170 prairiefire

I wouldn’t be surprised if I am. I have several ancestors who were in the Revolution, and many of their ancestors were here much earlier.

And, it depends on what one means by “related”. 10th cousin?

Most Americans who have colonial ancestry that significantly predates 1776 will all be related somehow. If your ancestry goes back to 1609 then it will be hard to not be related to everybody else who has ancestors in the 17th century in NA.
