That's it, magnik! It's surprising how these people are related, isn't it? (Or maybe not, since only the elite kept genealogical records well in the very early days, and the first American immigrants had to have a certain amount of money to make the passage.)

Their common anectors are way back in history. like the 14th and 15th centuries, but yes, it's still amazing.
