Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon hits home. π
My husband is also my 9th cousin (can't remember how many times removed). Almost like people share a lot of ancestry or something.
But if you compare DNA results from 23&Me or wherever, it says "no relationship found". There's not enough to make it any big deal, but it's interesting to know. (And, it's pretty common.)

Very common pretty much everywhere, I've found. Husband's family took a different route than mine all those generations ago. Mine were mostly northeast and headed west until they hit ocean. His stopped at Indiana. Yet we managed to meet in Texass. π
My sister found out her best friend, they met in *Alaska* of all places, was our cousin via a common ancestor in Scotland.
