Jack and I are 8th cousins four times removed. 

Jack and Ramona are 15th cousins three times removed. The common ancestor is Sir William de Montfort of Warwickshire:
 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Montfort-240 (d. 6 Dec 1452).

I just learned that I am 15th cousins 3x removed from Jack London whereby his 14th great grandfather is my 17th great grandfather Reynold Grey.
Our 7th cousin 4X removed via John Bailey, Jr.  Who knew?  We take the train out of Jack London Square all the time and love his connection to the Bay Area and Oakland, CA.

8th cousin twice removed Johannes Jung is our common ancestor.

16 steps through my dad's mother's ancestors (the source of most of my connections to notables, honestly). Also 10th cousins 4x removed.

Exactly 19 steps for me.

Also 15th cousins once removed. Common ancestor is William Calthorpe (I didn't even know I had a multiple g-grandparent named that from the 1400's. Learn something new everyday I guess.)

Nope, 20 degrees. Funny thing, we connect through the Washington family somehow by way of George Steptoe Washington, the founding father's nephew.  Seems his wife's ancestry leads to a woman who married into my mother's paternal line. Jack and I are, according to relationship finder, 11th cousins twice removed, although there is some degree of uncertainty (lack of confidence) on his end.

Wikitree now puts me at 19 steps from Jack London through my father's side of the family. No known blood relation on that side.
