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 i have a family member that was in a Family tree club and they went back hundreds of years or as far as records would take them to determine who each of them were related to. There were about 20 people in the club and only 2 of them traced lineage back to anyone of notoriety.

I agree, because a nice to know fact is, their are at least EIGHT!! Presidents of the USA with real close relatives here in my city Leiden, in Holland.
Those eight include Bush SR, Bush JR, and even Obama and Roosevelt.
And they are close relatives, not some far away ant or uncles, but they are direct descendants. In other words i mean great-great-great-great grandparents... father of the father of the father of the etc etc etc...
Maybe i can find the article about it

Only until you consider the hundreds of thousands of descendants of John Plantagenet who have NOT become president. Less than 0.043% of his offspring have had that honor.

Being the Pres of the US it doesn't make sense to me that it's possible, unless like others have said it's a conspiracy. Be it the blood line, or what not. The family tree does go back but the odds of being related to 99.9% of the presidents does seem odd to me.

I have said it time and time again but anyone who takes the time to read the Treaty of Paris that established the United States after the Revolutionary War and researches the words and titles used, and then can take honest note that the treaty is being dictated to us by the English King and what and how it is being dictated will likely conclude nothing was won in the Revolutionary War but the right to incoporate as a franchise.
In the opening Paragraph of the Treaty the King reserves the right to be the United States Prince Elector (a Holy Roman Empire Title meaning one has the power to appoint an emperor, prince or King for the Empire) and to also be our treasurer!
It is also pretty apparent when you read the treaty literally and thats how treaties are meant to be read as that is how they are written that the King's main power is not dirived from being the English King but by being a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, and Arch Treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire.
This is the King's full title note the first, note the last.
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
You can see how right in the treaty that he delcares himself to the prince elector of the United States (he choses who will be President, and that he is the arch-Treasurer of the United States, he controls our money.
This is a legal binding treaty by the way people.
While on the surface it appears through stories like the OP's post that it's England controlling us or ruling over us secretly, I contend that just as the title suggests all roads lead to Rome, and the English Monarch derives their power over us via Rome and the power that Rome gives them.
Most people disagree with me on this but I truly believe we are an incoproated state of the Roman Empire.

I remember once hearing that you can pick anyone on the planet right now and through seven people you know them.
I know that's a lot different than related but it reminded of the of that, I would believe that we could be less than 50th cousins with most people.
I mean, Biblically speaking, we all came from the same two people.
Scientifically, we all probably came from the first two...whatever...to evolve.

extremely interesting.. makes you think there is something else going on here like eugenics or of that sort.
"traced that Obama, and all other U.S. presidents except Martin Van Buren, are related to John "Lackland" Plantagenet, a king of England and signer of the Magna Carta. "
I'm wondering that if all our presidents are of england royal descent every election is some what of a fluke.
