If your wife is Caucasian (as I assume you are), you can pretty much bet on
having common ancestors as a certainty. Most Europeans are related to
Europen royalty (which in turn is inter-related), basically because many of
the European Kings had lots of children.

I see.
Whilst the plebs all had only 2.4 children, the Kings had a lot of
children?
How did they do this? It is my understanding that kings are usually
male, whilst it actually requires the presence of a female for child
production.

Right. But a king can have 30 kids while thirty peasant women have
only one kid each. Relatively speaking, that king had lots of kids.
