In researching my own ancestry, I found I'm related to both President Barack Obama and to President George Washington.
My 13th great grandmother Margery Hext Collamore (1510-1551) was President Barack Obama's 17th great aunt and President George Washington's 13th great aunt.
Did anyone know of this ancestral connection shared by our 1st and 44th presidents?
@Barack H. Obama, 44th President of the USA
@George Washington, 1st President of the USA
Yes, George is my 5th cousin, 7 times removed and Barack Obama is a more distant cousin through Ann Bate or Bray of the 1500s--memory fails me here. The point is, every president we have had has some English ancestry so if most of us will find relationships to most of the presidents and relationships to each other. If you throw in Dutch ancestry you are sure to pick up the Roosevelt's and Van Buren's too--although at least the Roosevelt's , have plenty of English blood.I
Donna, that is not necessarily, the Café. IT all depends, On how, through whom and to Which degree, THEY relate to Which President apparently. For more, you all Should go to http://www.weareallrelated.com And join the president's cousin's Club amd Newslettern etc. and simply Ask BridgeAnne... If you are One of the ones, who relate to all or just some of the Presidents.
She's a lovely Girl, Turning Young Woman, who, with her Gramdfather, WHO specialized nicht the Presidenial lineages, for some 60 years.

I, at first, has also independently (without ancestry.com, without my Heritage, without Geni etc... Had stumbled upon 6 Presidents, WHO automatically brought with them 3 more, as related, to the others... THAT'S when an Old school make of Mine pointed Out BridgeAnne, to me.
IT wasn't until almost a year later, that I Joined Geni. ;-) <3

Barack H. Obama, 44th President of the USA is my 16th cousin thrice removed. He is also related to both Pres. Bush, Lincoln, Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower, Both Johnsons, Kennedy, Both Roosevelts. I suspect there is a connection to all the presidents.
