Geni can create some rather peculiar linkages and seems to have done so (at the moment) between Dan Bodenheimer and myself. Geni is now showing such a circuitous path that I can't begin to follow it, but previously we were closely related! However -- thanks to Geni's information, I find that Jacques Paquin (on this discussion) and myself are 11th cousins, twice removed, and by tracing this connection back, I came across my 11th great-grandmother, Munkele (Mingle) Gelhäuser (Bad/Blad/Blat). She was born sometime between 1499 and 1619 and died on March 11, 1625 in Frankfurt Am Main. Jacques Paquin -- you are Munkele Gelhäuser's 10th great-nephew. :)
