    I mean, can you really say for all practical purposes you’re related if Joe Bob is both of your great great great great uncles? After so many generations it ceases to be relevant.

      More than second cousins and it’s pretty irrelevant anyway. If they’re the same ethnicity as you there’s a good chance you’re some sort of cousins anyway. (Well humanity had a common ancestor so EVERYONE is kinda your cousin, eh)
