Here I show how I am related to Presidents of the United States. When I am related to a President, his name is a link showing how he is descended from our most recent common ancestor. The common ancestor is a link into the rest of my database. Presidents' lines of Royal Descent and descents from Mayflower passengers are also shown.
Note: The Ancestor Tables from Gary Boyd Roberts "Ancestors of American Presidents" are in the process of being made available at RootsWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/presidents/
If you have any suggestions about how I might be related to any
of the other presidents, let me know. [E-Mail]
