Do you happen to know if there is RELIABLE genealogical lineage for Al Gore located online?
I am very curious about the Original Immigrants among his ancestors.
For instance does he descend from any Revolutionary War soldiers? How early did any of his ancestors come to Tennessee and what were their names?
Is he related to millions of living Americans, like Barack Obama, through his mom is?
From Old English, Gore means something like triangle. It also could have its origin in French for a glutton or lazy person.
Sure. That's how I found out one of Al's recent ancestors was hung as a horse thief.
There's something genetic in that livestock angle, too. Gore's Pa, the KGB Stooge and crooked, outspoken segregationist senator from Tennessee, used to auction bloodstock cattle off to "Contributors," never deliver them, and then charge "the buyers" a "Breeding Management Fee!" Multiple corporations each "bought" (wink-wink) and each paid the yearly "management fees" (wink-wink) for the same cow or bull many times over ... at every yearly "auction." Sweet! The old man also controlled many, many tobacco allotments.
The Venona Reports are for more interesting than the Gore family tree, though. Throughout the Thirties and Forties, The KGB funneled massive payoffs to Al Gore, Sr., through Armand Hammer, the USSR's purchasing agent in the US, and KGB operative. Look THAT up.
Commie, Crook, and Racist Con man though Al's dear old dad was, not even he could have dreamed up the billion-dollar Carbon Credit scam for which Al's is the Front Man.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ~ like everybody's got ignorant hillbillies, and worse, in their background, but Al should have studied more instead of blowing pot.
I tracked down the Gore's over a decade ago. The biggest problem is that there are multiple Gore family lines that are not related. Plus, when you get off the male lineage you pick up on all sorts of Scottish and English lineages that wander off into the never never regions.
Now, is he related to Obama? Probably not. Even with a great number of Alexander ancestors I am not related to him as best I can tell (although Bill Clinton is, and I recall so is George Bush).
Obama's mother's lineage is a mix of blue-bloods from Scandinavia and Nederland, a vast number of Huguenots, and even Iriquois Indians. They extend back to the very foundations of the nation ~ which Obama's grandmother understood, and if you know your ropes you can steer yourself into a noncompetitive entry as a "legacy of the founders" of a number of Ivy League schools.
Oh, yeah, there are some English ancestors in the mix. I don't track the English though.
I think his ancestors were space aliens.
