Well, it goes back to the 1600s -- your 9th g-grandfather is my 8th g-grandfather, but it appears to be direct through your dad and my mother. Nice to meet you Cousin!

There's a quick way to find your closest living cousins on Wikitree: from your profile, choose cousins from the Wikitree drop down menu. I've only been a member for a few months so don't know when this feature was added. There are so many features built into Wikitree!
