Back in the 1970's my Grandfather actually identified GHW Bush as a distant relative when he became head of the CIA and identified him as the Grandson of a relative he knew as a boy. I never explored it but my Great Great Grandfather had oil wells in Kansas which seemed to fit. My Grandfather's family were staunch Republicans he changed stripes in the late 1920's and became a Democrat and was a friend of Clarence Cannon and knew Harry Truman. The German connection was a sore subject with my Grandfather especially the German American Bundt which infested the small Missouri town he called home.

As to the American Nazi's Grandpa got even.
