Is it a beautiful day in the neighborhood to clean up Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers ancestor?

I just read where Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers share a common ancestor as a promotional tool for his new movie.

It looks like we have a few merges needed for their 5x Great Grandfather.

Can you take care of these neighbors?

As though this were an exceptional thing given Hanks' genealogy.  Get over yourself, Ancestry.

I just proposed 3 more merges of this duplicated family - child, wife, and father.  Easier to get them all going at the same time.

Might also be worth adding a path between Hanks' father (per Wikipedia) up to John Meffert:
