Anyone related to someone you'd least expect?

Question

I work on my family's geneology and recently discovered that I am a distant cousin of my husband's ex-wife.

Answer 1

Not yet, been working on it for years and not related to anyone unexpected or famous.

But I expect that soon I will trace my ancestry back to Old King Whatshisface like everybody else has.

Answer 2

My ex husband and current husband are 7th cousins, meaning my children are both stepchildren to hubby as well as 7th cousins, once removed.

My daughter and husband also share a common ancestor from the 1700s.

Given the limited population in the US in the 1600s and 1700s.. those who work back that far, can almost expect to find connections like that.
