    Genetics are truly insane. Not to say they could not look alike just by coincidence, BUT i have noticed on this show that some people will bear a certain resemblance to ancestors from literally 200 years ago!!! Tina Fey said when looking at her 5 or 6x time great grandfahter, "wow, that looks just like my dad!" etc.

    I am also in this family tree according to Family Tree genealogy. Joseph Strong was my cousin along with Princess Diana on my mother's side and Queen Elizabeth on my father's side. and many presidents and so many other notable people. Elvis is my 7th cousin, George Harrison and John Lennon one on each side of my family, also Marilyn Monroe and my family came over on the Mayflower and also have very deep roots in England. There are 30 million people alive today and 20 million of them are in the United States who are descendants from the Mayflower. We all have famous relatives. Genealogy is so interesting 😊
