Family Relations
By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, History, McCainThe New England Historic Genealogical Society has released information on the distant family relations of all three presidential candidates. I don’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
England’s Edward I
France’s Louis VII
Laura Bush

John McCain
Lyndon Johnson
Gerald Ford

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!”
