Lol
If he's related, it's some super distant cousin.
Like, he's Catholic, I'm Catholic.
Catholic families tend to be large and my family is no exception. I probably haven't met all my relatives. I mostly seen aunts, uncles, grandparents, my first cousins and their children, lol. (And my grandparents both came from large, Catholic families, so there's so many out there I probably have never met. There's a guy on FB who has been digging into his family tree and is apparently distantly related to me and he's in California. I've never met him, but my grandparents are related to his parents or something like that. I don't even know.)
Or he could be completely unrelated. Like, there's another family with the shared last name in my state that aren't related. Grew up in the same location as mine. He still lives in that general area. Lol.
Fun Fact: I might possibly be related to an old outlaw called Billy the Kid.
For Billy the Kid, I tried tracing my ancestors (to the best of my abilities without spending money) to see exactly how he's related. I couldn't find anything. The farther back you go, the harder it is, and Billy being around in the 1880's, makes it that much harder. Let alone the fact that there is a possibility his listed death date (July 14, 1881; Aged 21) is wrong and he lived to an old age.
I couldn't really find anything. If I were to get better results, I'd probably have to pay for a DNA test.
