Other than Ian himself, is anyone closer than 24 degrees to him?

Question

I am connected to him for 24 degrees through my aunt Dorothy Sizemore Hughey.

I am also a 17th cousin to him.  Common ancestor is Thomas Windsor.

20 degrees through my 3rd great grandmother, otherwise, 16th cousin once removed.

21 degrees

Answer 1

23 Degrees through my maternal grandmother and beyond.

15th cousin twice removed. Elizabeth (Paston) Brown 1428-1488 is our most recent common ancestor.

Answer 2

No, 25 degrees for me but the connection is very unusual, through my more recent Shutes, so that is pretty neat.

Answer 3

23 degrees via Field Marshal Montgomery's mum and dad.

22nd cousin once removed . Common ancestor Fulk FitzWarin 1251-1315.....

Answer 4

Yes, I am 23 degrees to him.

Answer 5

18 degrees - but Kiwis and Aussies are often quite close.

Answer 6

I am 24 degrees through my several times GGM Tryphena Humphrey, sister to Deliverance Humphrey.

Answer 7

I'm also 24 degrees through a 4th-great uncle. That's unacceptable! Particularly since I grew up in Hobart.

Okay, admittedly it was Hobart, Indiana, USA, but still...unacceptable!

I'm working to find some shortcuts.

Well, I never did get closer to Ian, but I was able to fix a mistake in our first path, and I found a shorter connection between Ian and Joan Lindsay. Now, on to Beverly!

Answer 8

23 degrees

Answer 9

22 degrees.
