The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

My wife is a descendant of Robert the Bruce, who, of course, knew William the Wallace.

By coincidence, there is a Lake Wallace near my home town.  Go figure.

Some of you are missing the point. Sherf got it right. It's not relatives although it could be. It's someone you know now, and through their connections can trace a line to someone else in history or living now, whether famous or not.

Another example.

Me
A work colleague
His German Mother
Hitler, whom she met.

By definition that means I am connected to Sherf via Hitler :O :rofl

My Uncle was in the Combat Engineers running heavy equipment in the Pacific working on airfields. He was wounded twice, once on Tarawa and the second time more severely on Saipan.

Hmmm Me, my Uncle Tom, Lee Marvin also wounded on Saipan, guessing they ended up in cots next to each other oogling the nurses. Hello cousin cpxxx!

yeah but we used to just say "small world aint it"  whenever stuff like that happened.

It's part of life that keeps it interesting.   Somehow....  I like  "small world aint it" better than "6 degrees of separation".

In 1946 my dad was in Bethesda Naval Hospital for gall stones. At one point they wheeled him on a gurney to some waiting area and placed him next to another gurney bearing Marine Corps general Chesty Puller. Puller asked my then 24 year old dad what he was in for. When my dad told him Puller replied, "Huh. Ya don't drink enough whiskey son!"

Nonsense. Gallagher is worth at least 3 Clintons and a Gore.

Don't even get me started on Sha Na Na.
