I'm having fun with ancestory.com's 'Find Famous People Related to You!' feature. So far I've discovered that Catherine the Great is my Great Grandmother (26 times back), Alfred Tennyson is my 8th Cousin 6 times removed, Ray Bradbury is my 3rd Cousin 2 times removed, Jane Austen is my 7th Cousin 5 times removed (as is Nathaniel Hawthorne) and John Milton is my 1st Cousin 9 times removed.

What does it mean to be removed?

It's how far back the cousin was in generations.

Where is that feature? I can't find it. :(
