Relative Finder says I am related to 22 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. No direct lines, just cousins. I would guess, most Americans are related to at least one of these signers. It's pretty cool, that Benjamin Franklin is my 5th cousin, 9 times removed and John Adams is my 11th cousin, 3 times removed.
Interesting.
