Hmm. You're older than you look / sound, eh? Edward was 1595-1655. I'm impressed by your antiquity, you are marvelously spry for your age.
15 Degrees for me through my Baldwins. Not bad for me!
I'm 13 degrees away. Until you asked, I had to check the Connection Finder.
14 degrees. Carpenter> Thurston > Cary
13 degrees.
11 Degrees - He was my 8th Great Grand Uncle

Im alittle puzzled Im a descendant of Edward Winslow being my 9th great grandfather  where are you getting your information? Edward Winslow of the Mayflower  born in 1634 died in Nov 19 1682 fathers name is John  mothers name is Mary she was a Chilton  https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/70513799/person/192014684926/facts  

I'm 15 degrees away, but not by blood.

Jennifer Wiggins, Edward Winslow Jr. (1595-1655) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree is the one that David Hughey mentioned 

Connection Finder says 12 degrees.

Relationship Finder says he was my 9th great grand uncle, our MRCA was his father Edward Sr..

I am Edward's 10th great grand niece. And I am guessing no one will have to guess which family line it is through. Lol

He's my 11th g. Uncle.  :-)

16 degrees or steps. No known, key word known, blood relation. Seems one of my great great uncles, a Blankenship, married into relations of his relations.

13 steps, and those 13 steps are a blood relationship through Edward's brother Kenelm Winslow:  "Ellen is Edward's 10th great grand niece."
by Ellen Smith G2G Astronaut (1.5m points)
13 degrees for me as well, but through his brother Josiah.  My dad, who is also a WikiTree member, is only 12 degrees away from Edward.
Guess you beat me to the punch on claiming bragging rights.

Apparently I'm considered to be 14 degrees away because of an in-law, Glenn Stadtmiller (dec'd) and his mama Ina Carpenter Stadtmiller (dec'd) -- but there's no shared genetic material tween me and Old Eddie Winslow-83

The GSMD Mayflower Families (MF) volume for Edward Winslow is the shortest of all the volumes. In most Mayflower Member Societies, the number of descendants of Winslow is few.

It looks like I'm the closest so far. He was my ninth great grand uncle.

Didn't recognize Edward, but thought I'd try......the last I remember my computer said, off searching.....haven't seen it since. Being a smart_ss......did I say that?.... I went looking in person and found him getting off the Mayflower......That's easy,.my wife, Kathy, came over on one of those boats, maybe on a different weekend......so, tried again......another computer off searching........
