This gentleman is, apparently, an 8th cousin once removed. Having spent an evening with his blog, I am pleased to call him a relative, and wish him best of luck in the upcoming general election, in which he's running as an Independent candidate in Cambridgeshire. I also, in the grand tradition of shirttail relatives, do believe I'll descend upon him and his wife and pay them a prolonged visit - their area looks very beautiful! In return, they're of course more than welcome to holiday in Bed-Stuy.
