UMM Clarence Raines was the Father in law of Steve Irwin - Steve Married an American.

You are related to Steve's widow who is still living, and not with Steve Himself.

He is my favourite conservationist ever! that's why I created a WikiTree profile for him and researched his family tree. I also watched every Crocodile Hunter episodes, he died when I was 8 years old.

I have no relation with him except for 22-degree connection via his wife's family.

Crickey!  No relationship, but I'm 23 "degrees" from him.

I thought that was spelled Crikey - without the second C?

I'd be inclinced to pronounce your spelling more like Cricket (without that last T) rather than Cry-kee
He says it in Australian whereas I typed it in American ;-)
LOL Gotcha!!   Thanks

He was an Aussi and I am a Kiwi - I kind of hoped there might be a commonality.

But no!!

Steve and I are 27 degrees apart and we connect via our spouses - his American widow and my French Canadian spouse.

Because as I keep saying - Pretty much all Americans have SOME connection or ancestry from the French Canadians!!  LOL

Connected through his wife! We have 20 degrees of connection between us, apparently.
