Yes, Tom Seaver is my (10th) Cousin
One of the never-ending questions I get when I say I research family history is “Are you related to Tom Seaver?” since he is the most famous living Seaver person. I finally had a breakthrough – Tom’s father, Charles Henry Seaver, died in 2004, and a very nice obituary was written up in a golf magazine. My Most Recent Common (Seaver) Ancestor with Tom Seaver is the immigrant, Robert Seaver (1608-1683) of Roxbury MA. I can really claim “cousin Tom!” Here is Tom’s Seaver ancestry:
