That is Lyndon Johnson down in the lower left corner. Another relative (not shown) is Winston Churchill.

Anyhow, I imagine that being related to six presidents makes him "ready on day one." ;)

The most distinguished person I am aware of being related to myself is John Alden of Mayflower fame. Other descendants of John Alden include Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Adams, Adlai Stevenson III, the two Bushes--sadly!--and, more happily, Marilyn Monroe! Even Orson Wells.

If I am related to the Bushes, and Obama also is, does that mean I am somehow related to Obama? I suppose perhaps it does.

What famous people are you aware of being related to?

Unofficially I (Sean) am related to Bette Davis, Bill Clinton, and Langston Hughes! Figure that out!

Dunno if that makes him quaified, but, I bet Bush isnot so pleased about that!

I am officially related to U.S Grant. thats about it for my distingushed family tree as far as I know.

[this is good]

You have a lot of interesting famous people in your family tree!
Richard Nixon and Jesse James are in mine... Maybe that isn't something I should tell people!
