Tenth cousins? That's stretching it.

Or, if you find yourself in WV, anything past first.

Most of my family is from WV (Grandfather moved up from there, still go to the reunions there every year)

I guess I'm just classy.

WV doesn't recognize cousins as being kin. And if you fill out a form and pay a fee ($5 or a jug of moonshine), you can get siblings and parents removed from your family tree for procreation purposes.
