1 Family has always ruled America: Girl Traces US Presidents' Family Tree, All Related But One

I am doing the geneology of my family and know how wide a family tree can cover. And how stretched out those connections can be.
I am probably one of the whitest people you will ever meet. Everything thing about me, from the neighborhood I have always lived in to the foods I will eat. I am so fair-skinned, more than 15 minutes in direct sun and I burn.
My grandfather's great-grandfather(paternal) in 1830 was a "freed colored man." Married to a white woman. Their children are listed as mulatto, for at least one generation.
My (same) grandfather's great-grandmother (maternal) was First Nation. This is the classification in Canada for indigenous people, what we call Native American here in the US. My great-grandmother looks First Nation and is listed as being the mother of 18 kids. The number of cousins forward to this generation is absolutely mind-boggling.
So, I am related to both black and First Nation peoples.
Does it "count"? No.
Neither does anything about the presidential family tree.

KCOY reports that before this, historians were only able to link 22 presidential family trees.

from source

yet another reason to DIY when it comes to accepted history....

So this girl did what NO TRAINED historian could......

more like they didnt WANT TO...that sort of information is inconvenient.....

folks....DIY...everything else is BS.....

bravo to her for her awesomeness and the OP for bringing this up.
