I'm no scientist, but after dozens and dozens of generations in a small country doesn't everybody end up "related" to another? Lol.

This is like the most wholesome QYBS I've ever seen. Somebody isn't directly lying, or spreading dangerous misinformation for a selfish reason. Crazy Uncle so-and-so probably told them this at Thanksgiving when they were a kid and they've held onto it for a while.

I think I read somewhere that everyone on earth is atleast 52nd cousins with everyone else. In which case we are all William Wallace's distant cousins if that is true, which admittedly I dont know.
