George W. Bush is descended from the British Royal family on his father's side and from the Mayflower Spencers (Princess Di) on his mother's side - making President Bush related on both sides to both parents of the current Princes of England.
FDR was a cousin of his wife Eleanor Roosevelt - who was related to Teddy Roosevelt.
John Forbes Kerry (Kohn) is a cousin of President George W. Bush but was so smart in 2004 he chose to hire an idiot who traced his roots back to French royalty.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is related to at least 8 other American Presidents and 3 other Mayflower families.
Most of the supposed Mayflower Descendants are linked back to young woman who did not sail on the Mayflower. Her father was supposedly Digerie Priest who was on the boat.
However, that same individual was most likely a titled Huguenot named Delagard, Priest ~ that is, a French Lutheran minister of sorts.
His family had ALREADY been in America for over 25 years at the time.
