This is pretty funny, Warren Buffett owns the company my g-g grandfather founded (George Ellis Bennett, Acme Brick), and I just discovered (on geni) that Warren Buffett is my 14th cousin through my other g-g grandfather (Burwell Christmas Evans), whose daughter married the founders son, Walter Root Bennett! Small world.

Yes, it is a small world! And coincidentally...
