From the article:

“Obama found out years ago that an ancestor, Falmouth Kearney, fled the potato famine in Ireland and was brought to the United States on the Marmion when he was 19.

Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was a descendant of one of Kearney’s daughters and a man named Jacob Dunham.”

Remember, if you go back 5 generations, you will find 32 ancestors, and only one of them is likely to have the same surname as you.

Um, I’ve not mentioned that I’m an Appalachian hillbilly, have I?

All statistical bets are off.

LOL!
