As a third generation NZer the chances of running into anyone more remote than a third cousin must be pretty unlikely. I did work with someone who turned out to be a third cousin. In another role, one of my colleagues is married to my fifth cousin, we only worked that out as we share a very uncommon surname. I have not met her yet!
