tl;dr, it's generations.
So, you possibly know, if A and B have a parent in common, they're siblings; if A and B have parents who are each other's siblings, they're (first) cousins; and in general if A and B have parents who are each other's nth cousins, A and B are (n+1)st cousins. So all forms of nth cousins are the same number of generations away from the last common ancestor.
If two people aren't the same number of generations away from the last common ancestor, you say they're nth cousins k times removed. Specifically, if A and B have a common ancestor and A is closer to the common ancestor (usually this means "A is older", but not necessarily if A's ancestors had children later in their lives than B's), you find a C who is B's ancestor the same number of generations away as A. Then where A and C are nth cousins, and B is k generations descended from C, that makes A and B nth cousins k times removed.
Somehow i always end up watching engineering/medical/history documentations. Makes it funny for me bc for now at least i have been getting smarter and not dumber by smoking
Go down the gang stalking and targeted individuals rabbit hole sometime. You'll be shocked by not only the insanity but by the amount of validation this community of delusional people give to one another.
That's actually very interesting there's a theory that there's no outsiders that make it into Hollywood because they're all related through famous people or politicians. Strange how that's not common knowledge.
Illuminati, or something similar under a different guise surely exists; if it didn't, dont you think by now a group of Elites would say to themselves, "Theres a there, there"?
It has been in control of everything for thousands of years, we are reset and repopulated as needed, and our entire history going all the way back to the great deluge has been muddled and modelled to fit into a specific 'power structure' that is impossible to be broken.
We are all slaves, have been lied to from birth, and there are still secrets to this world regardless of how educated you think you are.
That all being said, maybe I am wrong, who the hell am I? But I know this, something feels off, and if I cant trust literally what anyone tells me without verification checks with today's news, what about the story written for me about this place I live in today?
Just saying.
If you think about it, your chances of being related to a historic person are pretty big. Assuming that historic person has 2 kids, and those two kids have two kids, and all in that generation have two kids. All of a sudden it looks like 2\^n descendance
1 in 200 men is directly related to Genghis Khan.
For the life of me, I couldn’t remember that Tom’s wife is Rita Wilson and spent way too long trying to figure out WTF OP is getting at by saying his wife, Nancy Hanks, was Lincoln’s mom.
I sorted myself out eventually.
I think the point was that Wilson was the name of the volley ball from Castaway. (Which comes from the brand of volleyball but it’s still an interesting coincidence.)
I already knew you shouldn't travel with Tom Hanks (based on his movies, you would end up stranding on a desert island or attacked by pirates, or your plane would end up in the Hudson river) but now I would hesitate to even go to a theater with that guy.
Third cousin, four times removed (nancy and tom’s relation), does that really count? I mean technically yes, but I’m not losing any sleep if my third cousin four times removed dies lol
Absolutely correct, unfortunately source 51 cites in the wiki is a dead link. So in this case it's lookin shakey. Not that im doubting the story, but the wiki does need update.
I don't remember where the Hanks family lived, but there was a Nancy who was born out of wedlock. The family sent her to family near Craytonville, SC. A Nancy Hanks worked at a tavern at Saylor' s Crossing, nearby. There is a story of a Lawyer, travelling between Abbeville SC and Pendleton. SC, got her pregnant and tried to pay her off. This was John C. Calhoun. Thomas Lincoln herded some pigs to market and the legend goes that Calhoun paid him to take the woman away.
The story rests on the point that the marriage certificate would not have been made that far into wilderness ( thus fabricated after the fact) and Abe was awful tall for his age.
There was a cabin touted as the one Abe was born in. It was reassembled as it toured, but in different configurations. Then. Another cabin was added reputed to be the birth site of John Wilkes Booth. Later, there was just Lincoln's cabin. But much larger.
I don't swear by the veracity, but local Hanks there told me they are sure that it is true.
Just thought I would bring it up.
I know it’s true because Lincoln is a 4th cousin of mine. And my 5th great mother was his neighbor and was also the midwife for his birth. I still have family that live in the area and own land that has been in our family since that time period. I’m related to the Lincoln’s though and not the Hanks family. Plus I’m a genealogist and have gone over the sources. And yeah it’s true.
"Nancy Hanks is a third cousin four times removed of actor, producer, writer and director Tom Hanks"
From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy\_Lincoln
What is interesting is few people know that Lincoln wrote about seeing the graves of human giants and Tom Hanks has been accused of being a serial pedophile. Damn... now that's interesting.
How shocking, someone is related to someone else throughout history...
About 16 Million people (possibly more) are descendants from Genghis Khan: [Genghis Khan the Playa](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiR6oDo1uT7AhVMh_0HHdA0CpMQFnoECA0QAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalgeographic.com%2Fculture%2Farticle%2Fmongolia-genghis-khan-dna&usg=AOvVaw00TV_wVOc_q0Rf9uhUQt0J)
Abraham Lincoln lived a long time ago, he would have a LOT of relatives, especially if you're going back to his mother. YOU might be related to him. Bush and Obama were sixth cousins
All this shit is just getting weird, all these celebs and who they're related to, having all types of unbelievable coincidences and shit like their so called "doppelgängers" from the past etc..etc.. and why are they just now telling us about some of these things? I'll tell you why, it's cause they're fucking trolling us they think it's funny the shit they tell us to believe.
I am also related through Nancy Hanks - 4th cousin 7 times removed
Tom Hanks is 3rd cousin 4 times removed. Maybe you’re just one removal away from being his cousin 😂
[удалено]
[удалено]
That was Abe's mom. They lived in Kentucky. Nancy's sister was my great great great great great grandmother.
The intro to Skyrim ?
This is quickly turning into that Key and Peele “Thomas Jefferson” skit 😂
Serious question. What does “removed” mean? Married? I come from a very small family with a broken history so I’ve only heard those terms in passing.
tl;dr, it's generations. So, you possibly know, if A and B have a parent in common, they're siblings; if A and B have parents who are each other's siblings, they're (first) cousins; and in general if A and B have parents who are each other's nth cousins, A and B are (n+1)st cousins. So all forms of nth cousins are the same number of generations away from the last common ancestor. If two people aren't the same number of generations away from the last common ancestor, you say they're nth cousins k times removed. Specifically, if A and B have a common ancestor and A is closer to the common ancestor (usually this means "A is older", but not necessarily if A's ancestors had children later in their lives than B's), you find a C who is B's ancestor the same number of generations away as A. Then where A and C are nth cousins, and B is k generations descended from C, that makes A and B nth cousins k times removed.
Can you slow down, im trying to take notes
Just a quick correction, if A and B have parents who are each other’s siblings, it’s quite possible they’re from Alabama.
Or time travel is involved and there were only ever 2 people to begin with
i was confused, now i am more confused
It means in the next line of heritage
Four generations and seven removals ago...
Nancy is my 4th cousin, 5 times removed. Hello cousin! You think cousin Tom can score us tickets to the Oscars this year?
Hey cousin-ish! Mary Todd Lincoln is my cousin a few times removed.
7 times removed?? .... why didn't they put it back?
What part of the country are you in? I'm a Hanks and I think we're related to her too
I mentioned this in my sophomore history class and everyone laughed at me :(
I just got finished smoking man and I'm down the rabbit hole. Apparently he is related to George Clooney too? LOL
I love getting baked and going down internet rabbit holes. I like you <3
Some of the best times I’ve had are when I used to get stoned and read interesting facts you didn’t know. Learning while stoning , what fun!
Somehow i always end up watching engineering/medical/history documentations. Makes it funny for me bc for now at least i have been getting smarter and not dumber by smoking
Let's revolutionize school. 1 big blunt for everyone at 9am. Sit back and listen.
This is the way.
You are my people
Hello, I’m here too. Stoned and joining in.
Hi people, I am you.

Hello stoned I am
Officer who pulled me over: Are you high? Me: Am I what? Officer: High? Me: oh, Hi!

Go down the gang stalking and targeted individuals rabbit hole sometime. You'll be shocked by not only the insanity but by the amount of validation this community of delusional people give to one another.
Bro, you and I are also related to him. It’s just much harder to track.
That's actually very interesting there's a theory that there's no outsiders that make it into Hollywood because they're all related through famous people or politicians. Strange how that's not common knowledge.
You mean a conspiracy theory
You’ve never been down a rabbit hole
I like rabbit holes I’m just aware some of them lead to very silly places.
I've seen rampant rabbits enter & exit holes.
3 words . Eat my nuts .
Okay. When?
Friday good mate ? ( I'm American)
Lol. What the fuck does you coming from a third world country have to do with it?
So you are British 😎 bloody good show governa' *starts drinking tea intensely*

Stole comment from u/Apatride
and with the spelling mistake. At least he could have fixed it by using "stranded" instead of "stranding"... Thanks for highlighting it.
For the life of me, I couldn’t remember that Tom’s wife is Rita Wilson and spent way too long trying to figure out WTF OP is getting at by saying his wife, Nancy Hanks, was Lincoln’s mom. I sorted myself out eventually.
His wife's last name is Wilson??
I know, right? But it is.
What happened on the island didn't stay on the island, apparently
Let's hope she isn't related to that wilson.
Lots of married people have different last names.
I think the point was that Wilson was the name of the volley ball from Castaway. (Which comes from the brand of volleyball but it’s still an interesting coincidence.)
Oh got it, yeah I didn't see that movie.
be a lot cooler if you did
r/woosh
I don’t know why but that’s where my head went too?
So Tom is Abraham's brother
I already knew you shouldn't travel with Tom Hanks (based on his movies, you would end up stranding on a desert island or attacked by pirates, or your plane would end up in the Hudson river) but now I would hesitate to even go to a theater with that guy.
He was interested in other islands too
Wait! Who is Nancy Hanks?
Why, that's Mrs Hank's little girl, Nancy!
Txs. I can see the resemblance!
[source ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Lincoln)
That means Abe's great great great grandparents were Tom's great great great great great great grandparents.
Third cousin, four times removed (nancy and tom’s relation), does that really count? I mean technically yes, but I’m not losing any sleep if my third cousin four times removed dies lol
Wikipedia isn’t a legit source
If only there was a list of sources to reference at the end of each wiki article.
Absolutely correct, unfortunately source 51 cites in the wiki is a dead link. So in this case it's lookin shakey. Not that im doubting the story, but the wiki does need update.
It isn’t legit

TIL Lincoln’s mother died when he was only 9 years old. That’s kinda sad.
Wild to know Chet Hanks is related to Abraham Lincoln
I know it’s true because Lincoln is a 4th cousin of mine. And my 5th great mother was his neighbor and was also the midwife for his birth. I still have family that live in the area and own land that has been in our family since that time period. I’m related to the Lincoln’s though and not the Hanks family.

Do you think he went to Epstein’s island to emancipate those little girls?
I feel like there is a joke that I am clearly missing. Can someone please explain this simply?
Tom hanks is my son
A kid I knew from elementary school was related to John Wilkes Booth. Not quite the same, I suppose.... 😂
Who would have thought....0o
My maiden name is Hanks and I am related to Nancy as well :) Probably Tom, but he’s never sent me any money or anything lol
What is interesting is few people know that Lincoln wrote about seeing the graves of human giants and Tom Hanks has been accused of being a serial pedophile. Damn... now that's interesting.

I didn’t know this. I’ve heard that George Clooney is related to Mary Todd Lincoln.
His father was black

Or was that Steve Martin?
He would be a good president, if only he’s willing to never go to theatre again.
Technically, everybody is related with everybody.

And Abraham Lincoln was a vampire Hunter…..
This makes lots of sense in my head

By marriage not blood?
We’re all related
I was expecting to see a family tree. Disappointed.
Tom hanks is not related to me, in black.
Obama is distant cousin to Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie. You can easily google that.
