Here’s my tidbit. President Obama and I are cousins. We share the same 12 or 13th great grandfather on our moms’s side. An English military man who came to the US, if memory serves it was to Sturbridge MA. I need to look it up again. Somewhere I have the family tree outlining both our path’s to this common ancestor.
