YOUR FAMILY TREE MAY HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL BRANCH

YOUR FAMILY TREE MAY HAVE A PRESIDENTIAL BRANCH

CINCINNATI, Ohio (Wireless Flash) -- Although not everyone can become president, odds are good you're related to one. According to "Family Tree" magazine, as many as 100 million Americans are related to one of the nation's 43 presidents. Although folks with New England ancestry are likely related to dozens of presidents, those with Quaker or Southern roots have a pretty good chance too. "Family Tree" editor Susan Wenner says the president you're most likely to be related to is John Tyler -- who fathered 15 children. However, you probably won't find a branch of your family tree that connects with George Washington. Although some descendants of Washington's slaves claim he fathered a half-black child, most experts now believe that George was sterile.
