President George W. Bush is a descendant of Edmunde Reade and and Elizabeth Cooke... as is Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. But despite their divergent political backgrounds, the distant cousins boast similar life achievements. Both men graduated from Yale University (within two years of each other) and both are key players in the upcoming 2004 presidential election.
TIN FOIL HATS AND BLACK HELICOPTERS ALERT!!!!!!!!!!
A billion people having sex, just to produce me? I'm flattered.
*Barbra Pierce Bush is descendent of President Franklin Pierce
You can pick your nose, but you can't pick your relatives.
Al Gore is a 2nd cousin by marriage. His mom's sister married my mom's brother.
Relationships in the good old days bore no similarity at all to those of modern times where you can have four grandparents, each from a different continent, and your biggest problem at Christmas is whether or not you should celebrate it on the 24th, or 25th, or maybe January 6th!
According to my calculations, this makes them 9th cousins, three times removed.
Excuse me, further verification reveals they are 8th cousins, thrice removed, not 9th. :-)
Theres probably lots of duplications in that tree. In 1,000 years there are more than a trillion ancestors. That's orders of magnitude more ancestors than the total number of people who have ever lived.
I could use a nice guitar solo 'bout now...
talking about spining before the DNC convention.
The media is pushing a propaganda of a "trend" and now the image of Kerry as "same as" GWBush.
So the public should vote "FOR" Kerry because he is like a democrat party GWBush.
How does that affect those who just hate GWBush to vote for the Democrat Party GWBush.
In fact I know those folks so well we have some of the papers regarding their convictions for violating the Runaway Slave Act.
Good people there ~ the heart and soul of America ~ even if they were a bunch of bluenoses like John Kerry.
......and balls
It's obvious who got the looks and brains in the family.
What? One of Kerry's relatives did business with the NAZI's and another did business with bin Laden????
Read post #28. I'm not counting indivduals but positions on the family tree. The further you go back the more duplicates there are except for Arkansas.
LOL! Which makes me wonder whether the Allman Bros are Pubs or Dims...
I'm related to Dubya, for cryin' out loud... just nowhere near closely enough to get an invite to a family dinner.
Yes, it's sad how the Winthrop legacy has gone down the drain.
They did benefit concerts for Jimmy Carter, so that oughta answer your question.
