Is Joe The Plumber Related to Charles Keating?

Joe Wurzelbacher, also known as "Joe the Plumber", has the same last name as Charles Keating's son-in-law Robert Wurzelbacher.

A Robert Wurzelbacher in the Cincinnati area was once a major contributor to Republican candidates. However, "Robert Wurzelbacher" died on January 10, 2004, according to the Kenwood Country Club. That would account for the lack of donations in this election cycle. This Wurzelbacher was married to a Dorothy, who gives her maiden name as "Schmitt" on a genealogy site. Since "Robert Wurzelbacher" is known to have been born in 1954 from the article in the New York Times on Keating's conviction, Robert and Dorothy may be the parents of the convicted Robert.
