They do look very much alike and furthermore, they were both in bands with Richie Furay. First Richie was in Buffalo Springfield with Neil, then when that broke up he formed Poco with Rusty Young as an original member. I do know that Neil comes from a large and musical family, and that his grandfather was from the States, as I recall Virginia or somewhere in the South. I believe that was his paternal grandfather. I read that in an interview with Neil a long time ago, and it stuck in my mind because he said his grandfather had a dog named ******. Anyway, music seems to be a big part of the extended family culture, in particular old-time traditional southern style folk music. He talks about getting together in big extended family groups with cousins and so forth to make this sort of music. Also, it seems to me that they are very independent and want to make it on their own steam without much help or reliance on others. I don't hear his half-sister Astrid, for example, a professional musician, using her connection to Neil in any way to promote herself. So if Rusty were a cousin of some sort, I doubt if he would trumpet their relationship either. In general they seem very private and down to earth sorts of people. It just strikes me as a likely possibility. Or it could just be coincidence.

Nope. Rusty was from Cali and Neil Young is Canadian.

Neil Young is Canadian and I'm fairly certain that Rusty is an American - no relation (not that my comments above mean they couldn't be).
