I mean, Biblically speaking, we all came from the same two people.
Scientifically, we all probably came from the first two...whatever...to evolve.
I just thought it would be interesting to post...stir some sh*t up

Might be embarrassing to find out mistakes were made.
The student and her grandfather, who is a genealogist, spent this past summer designing the first known family tree chart in history that shows the presidents' direct relationship. BridgeAnne's grandfather has researched president genealogy for 60 years.
BridgeAnne has written to Obama, who she has concluded is her own 11th cousin, in hopes that she will get a chance to present the president with the chart.
Sounds like he's the guy they would turn to for double checking.
Why can't we just take someone's word for what they've read or found in their genealogical quests?
Even the best researchers have bad days and make mistakes. Then there are those who think they're researching but don't really know what they're looking for or what they've found. So what they report to others usually is hopelessly mangled.
The bottom line is that we trust no one, not even well-respected genealogists, to tell us what an original document holds.

It's actually very common, if people to search back far enough and if their families came over from Europe, to find relations. So, a LOT more of us are related than we think.
This is always said at least once in a thread like this and very typical that it is you who says it this time.
What you are saying is complete BS
It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the hearts of the most serene and most potent Prince George the Third, by the grace of God, king of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith, duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, arch- treasurer and prince elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc., and of the United States of America
