London
(ANI):
Ellen
DeGeneres
recently
discovered
that
she
and
pop
star
Madonna
are
distant
cousins
but
was
too
busy
to
delve
into
her
ancestry.
But
now
Lisa
Kudrow
has
done
the
work
for
her.
The
former
'Friends
star" has
appeared
on
'Who
Do
You
Think
You
Are?'
–
the
reality
show
that
traces
the
ancestry
of
popular
celebrities,
reports
the
Daily
Express.
So
she
put
her
family
tree
expertise
to
good
use
during
a
recent
appearance
on
Degeneres'
U.S.
talk
show
-
by
researching
the
host's
ties
to
the
'Material
Girl"
hitmaker.
Appearing
on
the
comedienne"s
daytime
show,
Kudrow
revealed,
"You're
11th
cousins
(with
Madonna).
What
you
share
is
your
10th
great
grandfather,
his
name
was
Martin
Aucoin,
from
France...
He
had
two
daughters,
Jean...
That's
your
side.
And
another
daughter,
Michelle,
and
that
gave
rise
to
Madonna's
side,
and
they
moved
to
Canada.
Then
your
fifth
great
grandfather...
he's
the
one
who
moved
the
family
to
Louisiana
in
the
late
1700s."
DeGeneres
said:
"That's
pretty
far
back,
that's
pretty
amazing."
