Presidents and Famous People We Are Related To
Side note on Famous Relatives. Although we can trace our family lineage directly through these known relatives, we are hardly unique or all that special ☹. All these famous people have tons of relatives who claim them. To give a quick example, if a family has 5 kids and each of these kids live to adulthood and have 5 kids and each of them has 5 kids ….. You can see how the “family” grows. In only 5 generations (55) you’d have 500,000 relatives.
