19 degrees of separation from Kermit the Frog

Say hello to your friends!

Cartoon Kermit the Frog and his numerous frog relatives

Wikitree is based on the concept of one world family tree, connected by genes and marriage. If you add enough family members to the site, you can see the degrees of separation between yourself and famous people. Here are some of mine:

Mick Jagger - 15 degrees

George Washington - 11 degrees - This has surprised me to this day. We are Canadian, but my spouse’s great-grandmother was born in Kansas. She is directly descended from George Washington’s sister. George didn’t have any kids.

Ann M. Martin - 21 degrees (first of her name, last of her kind!)

Burton Cummings - 25 degrees (he also went to high school with my aunt!)

Jim Henson - 18 degrees - I presume that makes me 19 degrees to Kermit…
