Yeah...that explains his trying to shove his policies down our throats.

No offense to the good Germans - and I know a lot of them. :-)

“has confirmed through historical documents”

I can’t see from the original article where DNA was used at all, I think they came to this conclusion by plugging his name into existing family trees as so many folks do.

Many don’t know they can summit a sample of their DNA and at least 4 generation and from that can tell the various religions around the world your ancester migrated.

It takes more time but it can also help one fine out who their parents were if they were an orphan and had not clue where to start.

One item to worry about regarding Obama's ancestry is that a number of records point to "Condorman" (or "Contreman") not "Conrad" ~ and since it's easier to research "Conrad" than "Condorman" (which just flat out ends in Dutch speaking parts of New York State) they don't bother with other pursuits.

Looking at collateral lines, I'm more than willing to reject the "Conrad" hypothesis and stick with the "Condorman" hypothesis.

That way he gets to claim "Bucky" Phillips as a cousin, and "Bucky" is just interesting as all get out!

DNA can be collected from something as small as a few strands of hair or a cheek swab. I’m not sure if it can be collected from a fecal sample, but I do remember reading a Cold War account of how some CIA agents staked out a men’s room in a hotel where Nikita Khrushchev was meeting, collected the sample and sent it to the lab which was able to analyze it enough to determine that Khrushchev’s health was deteriorating and what, exactly, was wrong with him. Within weeks, he was out of power.

How did ancestry.com get a sample of Obama’s DNA?

Plus since Romney has German ancestors, too

Romney and Obama are cousins....

And they talk alike and think alike...

Oh goody Romney can get an invite to the White House after all...

There was a lot of questioning earlier today on other thread how the genealogy work was done. Now months ago Forbes Mag posted an article on Obama genealogy and talked about Sorenson and DNA Obama being related to Brad Pitt, until the word Mormon today appeared than all hell broke loose how they can do this bla bla. If Forbes Mag. reported it that was ok but the LDS mention it is a different standard!

They have some common ancestors a lot more recent than the German States.

The trick is to have both John Adams and William Henry Harrison as ancestors ~ like virtually all American Presidents (except a handful of early ones, but they were fairly close cousins).

You know what a hopeless task is? It's trying to figure out who's gotta' die first so you can get Harrison's spot in the Society of Cincinatus.

I thought they could only trace ancestors through the Y DNA (i.e. his dad’s side).

I'm not seeing where they say Ancestry.com used Obama's DNA for this (??)

I had this site saved for his genealogy. There are others of German origin indicated:

Ok, Brad Pitt, Sorenson and DNA, bla bla, Forbes Mag.
I’ll reread your comment tomorrow, maybe it will make more sense after a good night’s sleep.
