“The teen also found out that she is the 18th cousin of President Barack Obama.”
****
Given B. Hussein Obama’s shady past, wouldn’t bet the farm she’s related to him.
I am sure over half of white Americans are related to King John.
Rich men tend to have lots of children.
The farther back you go everybody is an 8th cousin or whatever.
I read once that everyone on earth is at least 50th cousinto everyone else
So what, I am descended from John Lackland as well. So is just about everyone else in this country whose ancestors come from Albion. The only trick is finding the paper trail that gets your family tree back to the old country. I’ll bet that they are all related to Charlemagne too, even Martin Van Buren would probably make that cut.
Martin Van Buren had some serious commie connects, IIRC.
I'm calling fraud on her claim of 500,00 names over 'months.' Even if done over a year, that's more than a thousand names a day. Before 1860 or 1850, the US Census records only list the name of the head of household, and the number of persons by sex by decade of age in the household. If you want their names, then you need to find wills and deeds or family bibles - primary records, many of which are in private hands or in courthouses and are not accessible online.
Published family histories by the DAR or others are not accurate (I have one documented Revolutionary War ancestor who is claimed on over thirty different accepted DAR genealogical records).
Please 'splain how she had time to go through primary family records for over a thousand people a day for months on end.
I've easily spend weeks working on a single name when looking at the pre-1850 period. I realize these were prominent families - but she still looked at over 500,000 names. At a thousand a day, and five minutes each (riiiiiiiiiiight), that's 83 hours per day.
Amazing that she can be a relative of a “black “ man like BO. perhaps he is not a real black?
Twelve is teen?
Good old Van Buren, our first president who grew up speaking a foreign language: Dutch.
Six degrees of separation. We’re probably all related to John Lackland.
I am NOT believing this story.
How did she find the birth records for Barack Obama?
All of these family trees going back many generations have a major problem.
They are all based on the assumption the father was accurately known in every case. This is highly unlikely and the larger the number of births involved the less likely it becomes.

Sincere sympathy to the young lady upon learning she is the 18th cousin to this this >>>>>> in the WH..
it’d be interesting to know exactly what database she was accessing
My half-brother, who makes Art Bell or David Icke look like chartered accountants, has been saying this for years.
Countdown to the 2012 racing forms...what’s the word on Palin, Romney, West, Huck, etc?
If she keeps at it she’ll find that one of them is descended from a jackal.
