well then our ancestors likely knew each other. I am descended from R' Yaakov Fisch of Kalev.

Also (little more recently) of R' Hershele Liske.
And the Maareh Yecheskal (Paneth family).

We're far cousins 😂

Now for my mother's side.

Anyone here related to the Fruchter family who has a family coat of arms (I think bestowed upon them from an emperor). From Marmarus, I think.

Who’s the F family from crown heights? As far as I know all the Mandel’s are hard core litvish

They're not alive anymore. They lived in CH but were not lubavitch (they were semi chassidish though) . Mrs F's maiden name was Mandel (daughter of N) and they have a daughter Fruma Leah.

Hi
I'm a descendant of Yisroel Bollag of Baden, Switzerland.
We're a huge family, Bly Ayin Hara.
He had 10 kids, who in turn had their big families.
And because they lived in Switzerland, they all B'H survived the war.

I highly doubt I'm the only one here...

Same here.
Also descendent of the Chasam Sofer
