Being the genealogist in our family, I can tell you this - we're not as far apart as some folks think. It's amazing how few generations you have to go back before you start finding places where our ancestors connected. My guess would be that if we knew both your ancestry and mine, by the time we would get back to the late 1600's or early 1700's, we would find that we had family who either intermarried or lived in the same town, or fought in the same regiment or something.
