That is interesting! My grandmother’s ancestors settle in NE Missouri in the 1850’s, so most everyone in the general area is our relative if you go far enough back.
My neighbor in Tucson, was curious about his lineage, so I chased it down. Come to find out, our lines meet up at the Mayflower. Two brothers married two sisters.
That was a lot of fun for both of us to find out. Of course, at that point, the rest was easy, because the line(s) went straight into the Royalty.
I think my maternal grandfather was from NE MO. I’ll have to check that again. I think I’ve got it all on the hard drive.
