Family Relations

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, History, McCain

The New England Historic Genealogical Society has released information on the distant family relations of all three presidential candidates. I donâ€™t know how they research this sort of thing, but the society is well-respected and spent three years on this project. The results are superfluous to the campaign but interesting nonetheless. Here are the (distant) relations:

Hillary Clinton
Jack Kerouac
Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau
Camilla Parker-Bowles
Celine Dion
Madonna
Angelina Jolie

John McCain
Scottish King William the Lion
Englandâ€™s Edward I
Franceâ€™s Louis VII
Laura Bush
Barack Obama

Barack Obama
John McCain
Lyndon Johnson
Gerald Ford
Harry Truman
Winston Churchill
Robert E. Lee
Brad Pitt

If Obama loses the the nomination to Hillary, I guess he can always hook up with McCain and they can be the “Family Relations Ticket!”
