Bush and Kerry are ninth cousins twice removed!

President George W. Bush and Senator John F. Kerry are related, according to Great Britain's Guardian Unlimited and the December issue of Family Tree Magazine. The two presidential candidates share at least eight common ancestors, making them very distant cousins, says Family Tree. Emphasis on the word distant: The two are ninth cousins, twice removed, Massachusetts genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts told the Guardian Unlimited. link

Who would of thunk it?! These guys are related

I'm sure that the NWO people will LOVE this one.

Anyway - who do you people think got the better of the genes?

good post except the fact have you ever heard of "six degrees of seperation". it basically means that going six relatives back we are all related like my mothers, uncles, brothers, aunts, cousins, sister could be a relative of a friend of mine.
