Distant genealogy gets pretty wacky. For example, consider at this range (30 generations), assuming that there wasn't overlap and inbreeding among all the lines that led to the President (which there was), he would have had 2 raised to the 30th power ancestors. That is 1,073,741,824. Over a billion. There weren't even actually a billion people in the whole world yet.
Virtually any who can fully trace their ancestry for 30 generations is almost guaranteed to have multiple relations with anyone else, at least from the same continent.

This is only slightly more reliable than getting your genealogy charts faxed from Kinkos. I mean now we are being asked to believe in the mythical Chicago republican.

I am related to President Bush through his mother, as we share a common Mayflower descendent, a boy who came over at the age of 16 by the name of Henry Samson. Professional geneologists have traced Henry Samson back to a man by the name of Wido de Reinbudcourt, a doomsday governor under William the Conquerer- so Bush is related to him, too.

Wow, if this is true, I'm related to President Bush!

As if the Irish don't hate Bush enough. F-them.

The President is probably descended from just about everybody who lived in England or Ireland in the 12th century, and who had descendants at all.

They missed the central irony. Strongbow is a descendant of Charlemagne and the Merovingians which according to Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code makes W. and his twin daughters descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalen. Gee, will Ron Howard (Opie/Richie Cunningham) invite them to the film preview??? [irony] Maybe they can all sit next to Babs Streisand. Laugh hard.
