We are probably related on the Smith side if we go back far enough. My grandmother was Hattie Smith; you can see her picture on last week's "Women" photo challenge. Her mother was Anna Houghtaling and her father was John Richard Smith, Family Search LD91-RMX. His Smith ancestors were in New York before the Revolution, but I don't know where they were before that.
When I looked at your page here, I spotted some Filles du Roi. I have some too, though their names escape me at the moment. Hattie Smith married my grandfather Arthur Auger. His parents Orville Auger and Melanie Cartier came from Quebec to Cohoes, New York, about 1881. My great grandfather is the only Orville Auger in the Family Search tree, so he is easy to find.
Of course, if you go back far enough, everyone is related. My son, who is a geneticist, assures me I can claim kinship with Cher Ami, a heroine of World War I who received the Croix de Guerre. (She has a Wikipedia page.)
