Cousin Uma
In perusing an article by celebrity genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts, I discovered a distant relationship with the actress Uma Thurman.
We both descend from Col. Thomas Ligon of Walsgrave-on-Sowe in Warwickshire, England. He was a cousin of Gov. William Berkeley of Virginia, and eventually settled in that colony himself.
According to my calculations, our common descent makes Ms. Thurman my 10th cousin (3 generations removed). The Genealogue blog has an interesting kinship calculator, for those of you interested in that sort of thing.
