Also, I have just learned that Nixon and Eisenhower were related! Through marriage. Kind of. Nixon's daughter married Eisenhower's grandson. I have not gone through enough of this thread to find out if this has been mentioned or not yet.

Even better, every one of them except maybe Van Buren is related to one English king.

My understanding is that everyone's* most recent common ancestor lived between 300 BCE and 50 CE.

There actually are two humans that absolutely all of us are descendants of. They probably didn't know each other.

We're talking 100,000 to 200,000 years ago, generally; possibly 300,0000 years ago in case of Adam there.

Oh by all means go ahead with it. Lord knows she had plenty of opportunity to fart in FDR's lap. Since he was in a wheelchair. Because he had polio. His legs didn't work, is what I'm getting at here.
