Elon Musk is related to lot of South Africans. Our own space man. He's my 7th cousin - is he yours? :-) http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-07/spacex-rocket-takes-sports-ca...

I might be, though one of my family members objects that we don't have official proof of one critical ancestor.

"Elon Musk is your fifth great grandfather's wife's fourth cousin 6 times removed." - according to Geni. That makes us related through his mother, by way of a pair of 17th Century ancestors. I suspect that other paths are possible, but Geni isn't tracing those routes. I stand a good chance of being related to anyone today who is of Scottish descent that arrived in North America more than 200 years ago.

hey Elon Reeve, you're doing a good job!

I also checked on a few people on this thread.

"Sharon Lee Doubell is your 15th cousin five times removed."

Oddly enough, Sharon Doubell and I are connected through an entirely different family path than Elon Musk and I are. Musk is connected through my paternal side for a few hundred years, but Doubell swings over to my paternal grand-mother's side, the Wallace's. I have to go back to the 15th Century before I can start descending down Doubell's ancestry.

"Danielle le Marais is your 17th cousin once removed."

I'm also related to Danielle le Marais through my paternal grand-mother. I have to go back to the 15th Century to make the connection.

"Nichole Elizabeth Richardson is your 12th cousin twice removed."

I'm related to Nichole Richardson also through my paternal grand-mother, but I need go back only to the early 17th Century before I can start tracing down her ancestral path.

I checked for a path to Traci Elizabeth, but Geni did not find one.

I'm looking for people who could describe what Elon Musk's neighborhood was like in the '70s and '80s.

21st 1x removed! Amazing. I work with lithium (which is used in batteries) and have looked a lot into what Elon does so this is quite funny.
Most people I've searched I was related, but some not. Even Obama, Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchil, Elvis, George Clooney, this is going to be a funny past time going forward haha

Its quite a hobby of mine to see which famous people I'm connected to. It's amazing just how many there are! It's likely most of us are connected to historic figures, or famous people, but to actually see it confirmed is amazing. I've followed my line all the way back to King Solomon and beyond, and it just leaves me stunned we can do this. Elon Musk is my 7th cousin, through the French Connection ;) and it surprised me too.

PrivateI'm sorry for the delay in my reply, but I was on a semi truck for two weeks straight in March and fell out of touch with the online world.

I'm not sure what you are asking. I haven't used any DNA matching service, though I would like to do so. I found my connection to you through Geni's search feature.

Richard Alexander, Jr that's okay its just another genealogy tool used for comparison between matches and dna gedmatch.com is pretty cool if you ever have time check out.
