  • Tony Bennett and Singers That Did Duets With Him

    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Thu Sep 17 21:34:26 2026
    This week's Featured Connections honor the late Tony Bennett (1926-2023), and singers
    that sang duets with him.

    I am:

    27 degrees from Tony Bennett
    27 degrees from Michael Bubl˙
    20 degrees from Natalie Cole
    24 degrees from Ella Fitzgerald
    17 degrees from Judy Garland
    23 degrees from Stefani Germanotta
    25 degrees from Josh Groban
    23 degrees from Norah Jones
    27 degrees from Diana Krall
    22 degrees from K.d. Lang
    22 degrees from Frank Sinatra

    It is always interesting to visit the past to see how we are related to each other. I have
    some ancestors that were black, bank robbers, politicians physicians, detectives, actors,
    comedians. I guess that I am a collection of all of them, as we ALL are.

    If you would like to find your connections to famous people, you can start by giving me
    some basic information by going to: https://www.hobbyline.com/genealogy_web_design.htm and click on the 'Request Form'
    link.

    I have researched the ancestry for many persons interested in their family history.

    How do you calculate how many degrees? Is that just manually counting from a genealogy program?

    Great question! Perhaps the connection is through my maternal grandparent. Already
    that is 3 generations. Then, the connection could be from their spouse or maybe
    another member of the family. They marry somebody who marries another, etc.

    It is also possible that your spouse could have a totally different connection to that same
    person by her side of the family. If go far enough out, eventually everyone is a cousin
    to everyone else.

    Hope this helps.
