My daughter and husband are related 9 generations ago.

If you mean the one in Massachusetts, It’s Plum Island.

I’m related to Donald Trump and according to my sister, Bill Clinton (don’t ask me how, I don’t know).

I was conceived on Plum Island 🤣 Laura Bush is my 8th cousin according to ancestry. And Joan of Arc is the sister to one of my great grandmother's many generations ago. It all depends on which family leg that's searched. Jesus Christ is also one of my distant relatives. We share a common grandfather a billion generations ago which means one of my lines can be traced to Adam. It's a lot of fun, especially if you actually are able to make actual links. There are a couple of well known singers who share a closer great grandmother, and a set of natural born quintuplets from along those similar lines that my mother was named after. Lots of fun when you grow up with family stories only to find out they were actually true!!

Yeah Obama but way way back to King Henry II. 9th cousin of Sarah Palin. 10th once removed of Princess Di. My bil is my 10th cousin. They are only a paternity test away from falling apart though unless you go by a legality of some sort.

Freeper Brown Deer downloaded a huge chunk of my gedcom from rootsweb when I only allowed 3 or 4 generations. But it's handy for me nonetheless. He's got tons more he researched himself and put on rootsweb.

I never found any president though and am not a Mayflower descendant even though I have much early New England ancestry, many first settlers in a town in CT towns/settlements.

But Ann Coulter was born in CT, and she is way higher in the pecking order, and beauty, too, than I. I looked up some of her background, and she's about 58! Amazing!

And 2 first cousin marriages which doubles the tree all the way back.

Was at findagrave and may have another Revolutionary War vet, went there to see if the one very iffy adopted possible native American connection 4 gr grandparents back. Not sure how you calculate the proportion, know gr grandparents are 1/8, so following that logic it's 1/64, not the first cousin line or it would be 1/32. We'll never know in this life at least.
