If you're a 12th cousinof someone, you share the same great grandparent from 13 generations ago. Everyone has 8,192 of these great granparents. Now, assuming a very conservative 2 children per family from that grandperson, there are 8,192 people also linking to that granparent. So effectively you share 12th cousin status with a famous person with 8192 *8192 people, or over 67 million others. So if you, like me, are 12th cousins of Queen ELizabeth II, don't expect an invite for tea and cucumber sandwiches any time soon.

Curiously, I am some type of Cousin to all of you fine people within this Post,
except Peter, Monique, Jessica and Stacey.
So Greetings to all of you !

Here you go, Åsa !

thank you mike, it was nice of you. by the way hello to you

Being able to use the World Tree (or Big Tree as I call it) and connect your own tree and see your X great grandparents and figure out that you are 12th cousin or 9th cousin or even 7th cousin instantly is amazing.

I would never have had so much information about so many of my ancestral lines without Geni. It would have taken me years to do this research myself.

With DNA tests available and affordable and with Geni's social media approach to genealogy, we will truly make breakthroughs. Until now, many people only knew about the ancestral lines of their four male grandparents. Now I can trace any line back.

William The Conqueror , Henry the 1st, Henry the 2nd both Kings of England, Robert The Bruce, Mr. James Taylor Treasurer of mass Bay Prov., US Grant ( by marriage) His wife is the relation. And several others. Had them all before joining Geni.

how in heavens name can I see how I am related to thomas jeffersson, I am not a pro member, so I can not see it

I assume that others can run the path for you. You are his 19th cousin, nine times removed. If you click on the link here, can you see the path?

hello hatte. I see, I will see what you enclosed

King Lackland is my 22nd Great Grandfather.
George Washington is 2nd Cousin seven times removed.
Like Matthew Cox, I've found hundreds of AMAZING connections. I've found grandparental lines going to Shem and Japheth, even to ancient China...and Attila the Hun is my GG!!! LOL! And most all of you are cousins.
Now, what should one do with it?
How is best to arrange it?
