This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Mark Lawrence Everyone is distant cousins :)

On 23&me (which catalogues a very small fraction of my relatives) I have 1st cousin, 4 2nd cousins, 26 3rd cousins and 1469 4th cousins - the list of 4th cousins only stops because it reaches the limit of 1500 relatives.

By 6th cousins you will be connected to many millions.

But yes, they are!
