Madonna's Lineage
Madonna has revealed that she shares distant family roots with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Both the singer and the Duchess are descended from French-Canadian roots, Madonna has discovered on a quest to trace her entire family tree. Madonna has also discovered that she is related to fellow diva Celine Dion, and is now encouraging her "relations" to join her and genealogist William Addams Reitwiesner in their quest to trace their entire family tree.
Reitwiesner is quoted on Contactmusic.com, explaining: "Camilla and Madonna are both descended from Zacherie Cloutier, who lived from 1617 to 1708. And Camilla and Celine descend from Jean Guyon, who lived from 1617 to 1708.
"Both Jean and Zacharie died in Chateau-Richer, Quebec. Because of their unusual French-Canadian ancestry, they are all blood relations. "Madonna is absolutely fascinated by this."

Big deal. Go back far enough and we're all related to each other.
Says: Nanc' at March 16, 2006 08:36 AMSounds pretty hokey to me. "Professional" geneologists are notorious for finding royalty and celebrities in bloodlines. This guy sounds like a quack, and isn't it a little weird that both of the connecting "ancestors" lived the same years (not to mention lived for 91 years at a time when the life expectency was around 50).
Says: The Reverend at March 16, 2006 09:57 AMActually, back then, life expectancy was about 30. Life expectancy at 1900 was 45 if you weren't doing manual labor.
