Many months ago, alfuso mentioned the Six Degrees of Separation that linked her to GAC. I hadn't thought of it before, but I am also able to list degrees between Custer and me.
(I think I have this right; if not, please correct me, alfuso.)
I knew: 1. Maria Luisa Benteen Steves, who knew 2. her father, who knew 3. his father, Frederick Benteen, who knew 4. GAC
What are your Degrees of Separation?

Zero ... I'm so boring! But I do have a very distant cousin who posts on this board.

I took me a minute, but I remember now. El Crab, wasn't it?
I'm sure he's honored to be related to you. Aren't you, Crab?

;D ;D Funny!
Crab, I thought you were the one related to Abigail Adams, which is how Leyton would be your cousin. Perhaps it was crzhrs.

Crab--
I've never discussed it with you, but I am an Adams' descendant as well. I went to Ancestry.com a few months ago and traced my lineage somewhat. Unlike you, I am more directly related to John (through the English side of his family), rather than Abigail, but there have been so many generations since, we are, for all practical purposes, cousins or some kind of weird relation.
Regards, Leyton McLean

One of my family names is "Parker." And we have more John's than the Four Seasons Hotel. There was a John Parker killed w/ Keogh's Company I. Does that count?
Best wishes, Fred.

My ancestors didn't arrive in the US until the early 1900s . . . I think most of us have a direct link to a chimp, though . . . and of course that would include GAC . . . I know there was a connection somewhere!

Diane....I'm sure you have met Custer decendants.. I've briefly met some of Nevin's descendants, but I can't claim to know them.
