Genealogical connection between me and Professor Tolkien!

Eglerio! According to Geni.com J.R.R. Tolkien is my second cousin once removed's husband's fourth great uncle's wife's sister's husband's third cousin thrice removed's husband's aunt's great nephew! Hobbits would appreciate this. It sounds like something from the Yellowskin* by Peregrin Took!

My American cousin, Ann Lyznicki, and I share genes through our common Koptyński family of Hussakow (my great-grandmother's family). Thanks to her marriage to Donald Edmund Klein of Harvey, Illinois, my family tree includes a multitude of WASP families, German families, and even mega-aristocratic families. Thanks to this link, I have a genealogical connection to J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, the Brothers Grimm, and even Albert Hohenzollern or Elizabeth II.

Yellowskin or the Year-book of Tuckborough was the oldest of the Hobbit chronicle books, said to contain entries dating back some 900 years before the War of the Ring (since about T.A. 2000) [Tolkien Gateway]
