It's probably telling that my most famous close relative is listed with sexual orientation as "matter of dispute", and that my musical tastes have odd correlations with those of teenage Japanese girls. I'm just not sure what it's telling, and with results like that I'm mildly concerned who it's telling.

I've also just been hit by the LJ salmon

How are you related to T.S. Eliot?

...the resemblance is striking. :)

Somethingth cousin, n times removed. I would have to find the charts to know for certain.

I'm related to Saul Bellow in a similar way. His third wife is my great great aunt.

First cousin, three times removed.

Your Grandpa Johan Eliot's father, Thomas Dawes Eliot (aka Farfar), was Thomas Stearns Eliot's first cousin. And since Thomas Stearns Eliot never had any offspring, you're probably about as closely related as anybody living.
