Oh... just... 14th cousins three times removed - Common ancestor John Stewart, 1st Earl of Athol - Stewart-1555
Orson and I are 18 degrees separated.

Orson and I are also 10th cousins once removed, descended from two daughters (Mary and Elizabeth) of Henry Robinson (Robinson-209)

Orson and Kristina are 8th cousins three times removed

!9 degrees here. We are 14th cousins, and related through the Goldings.

I am 19 degrees from Orson Welles; however, we are 10th cousins through John Wheeler and, most importantly, Orson and I were both born in Wisconsin (as she whispers, "Rosebud").

Exactly 18 for me.  7th cousin 3 times removed-I didn't know that.  I'll never forget reading about the "War of the Worlds" episode.
