My "closest" connection is to John Jay, at 21 degrees. The furthest are, as expected, Ruth Bader Ginsburg at 42 degrees and Thurgood Marshall at 35. (Interestingly, Ruth's connection to the main tree goes through France, but it doesn't help "my" connection - after the trip to France, the connection goes back to America, then Russia, a short stop in South Africa, then back to America to eventually reach the Willsons who connect moi through a Swiss cousin).
