All related

"He went back to the shop and rang up Charles Moray, who was some sort of seventeenth cousin and a very good friend." (from The Case is Closed, by Patricia Wentworth)

That is getting into a distant relationship, all right. But if you think about it, all of us are going to link up in father Noah sooner or later. Just keep going back, and we are all cousins, or uncles and aunts, or grandparents. Some sort of kin.
