great find. So the string pullers did this and McCain didn't get alot of choice?? Help me decipher it though. What degree of relative are they? Aren't Obama and Bush 11th cousins also? This country is like a small Dutchy in Europe - all rulers are related.

I am trying to figure that out as well. :-/

It is Obama and Cheny who are related... I think.

This is bringing back bad memories of that old TV series Dynasty. :|

Edit to add - Credit for this find goes to tumetuestumefaisdubien from Pilots.

 Bush and Obama 10th cousins once removed

Actually, it is not at all unusual for Americans of European descent to be related through some long ago connection. If all of YOU were to research your ancestors back that far, I'm willing to bet some of you are connected to these same lines as well.

One of MY ancestors had a sister who was married to one of Obama's half-uncles. So, while we are not, to my knowledge, actually related, we are connected by some marriage 10 generations ago.

I saw a stat somewhere once about the percentage of Americans who are actually descended from European royalty, and I don't remember what it was now, but I remember thinking it was amazingly high.
