OMG I CAN HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH - I'M RELATED TO BARACK!!!

[LynneSin]

I'm also related to Bush and it seems that all (myself, Bush and Barack) share a common ancestor - Ester Stackhouse

:woohoo:

Two out of three ain't bad Ester!

1. hmm

Wow- well its a good thing HE doesn't know about his relatives dirty porch or he might disown that part of his family...:P
BTW, have you noticed who is ahead of you in the DU fantasy football league?

[marzipanni]

2. I thought her name was Lucy.

Mother of all mothers...;)

[MissMillie]

3. Well, that is cool as hell, LynneSinn

but I always thought you could hold your head up high anyway.... cool as YOU are!


It really is cool. Turns out my aunt was married to a man who had a family connection to the Bush family.... but they don't brag about it.

4. I am too!

At least by marriage -- My mother-in-law's maiden name is Dunham, same as Barack's mom.

I'm sure we will both be invited to the inaugural ball!

[Shiver]

5. That means you might also be distantly related to Brad Pitt

He and Barack are, like, sixth-cousins or something. I forget exactly, but you can probably find out with Google or some other site...

6. At least I'm still distantly related to Robert I, King of the Scots

Don't think I have any Presidential relatives, but who knows? I need to browse my family tree again.

In the meantime...

8. Probably Biden too

all you Wilmington people are inter-related (well, okay, he's from Scranton, but still)

9. He had MiM fired up tuesday night when he was picking on Delaware

10. Nice foreshadowing. There will come a day...

...when we stop digging to find out who Obama is related to--when people will instead be trying to find out how they are related to him. :thumbsup:
