9. gotcha!

husband is saying that at Ellis Island they spelled names differently and thus are related.

10. that's certainly possible

but how far back into the genealogies does one want to look to find a familial connection? 20 generations? 40?

There's no close relation as far as I know.

3. No.

Little Steven was adopted, I seem to remember him saying. (I could be wrong about that) Plus, he's from Jersey, like the rest of Bruce's band.
