I am 14 degrees from Jaki Erdoes through my aunt-in=law's McCollom ancestry.

We are also 11th cousins as we are both descended from Thomas Cornell, a New Netherlands settler notable.

Can't get as close as 14 degrees, but Relationship Finder has us as 8th cousins, once removed.

The most recent ancestor in common is Ezekiel Buck. He was born 15 Jan 1650 at Wethersfield, Hartford, CT and died there on 3 Mar 1713. He had married Rachel Andrews on 18 Mar 1675 in Farmington, CT.

I have the same relationship but I connect through her with my grandmother that was part of the Salem Witch trials

Well, not 14 degrees, but 20 degrees and we are 9th cousins 3x removed. We share William Kelsey (PGM; Kelsey Name Study) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kelsey-7 as our shared ancestor.

You definitely have me beat, David!

For me, she is 18 steps. But we are 9th cousins and we have a bunch of cousin relationships at 9C1X, 10th cousins, etc.
