CAMILLA!
ABOVE: Madonna: Camilla's cousin
17th April 2008 By Emma Wall
MOVIE beauty Angelina Jolie and singer Madonna are related to royalty.
Shock new research shows they share an ancestor with Camilla, Duchess
of Cornwall.
They are all distant cousins, descended from the same French
carpenter.
And they are not the only ones – Shania Twain, Alanis Morissette,
Celine Dion and even US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton are also
part of the same dynasty.
Experts say there is an easy way to spot who is part of the family –
they all share the same nose. And these “family snaps” show surprising
similarities.
There are other links among the clan. Madonna, 49, Celine, 40, Alanis,
33, and Shania, 42, can all belt out a song.
Angelina, 32, and Madge share a love of adopting babies from overseas.
Camilla and Hillary, both 60, might not have got the looks in the
family, but both married powerful men.
The Duchess of Cornwall is the wife of Prince Charles, 59, while
Hillary is married to former US President Bill, 61.
They are all descended from Frenchman Zacharie Cloutier, who emigrated
to Canada in 1634.
The family tree emerged when old Canadian records were published.
Simon Harper, of the website ancestry.co.uk, said: “The fact that
Camilla and Madonna are related highlights the unpredictable and
entertaining nature of family history research.”

Shocking, but I already knew that Camilla, Madonna and Celine were
descendents of Zak. They are all my own cousins by that route as well.

In fact almost any French-Canadian, has an awful good chance of having
old Zak in their tree, he has been called the Father of French Canada,
and those who don't have him, probably have not completed their trees.

the "Zainte" or Xainte Cloutier you see there, married to Chuck Fortin
is Zak's grand-daughter
