Like many trees I suspect they are related. I just looked up the wood characteristics, similar there too. Long lost cousin.

Aspens are part of the populus genus, which includes poplar trees. The quaking Aspen has similar white bark to some birches, aka the betula genus, but they aren't closely related. Different taxonomic families.
