Fun fact of the day
According to Ancestry.com, President George W. Bush and I share the same 9th grandmother. That makes us 10th cousins. I'm expecting an invitation to the White House anytime now. For fun, here's a list of famous people it says I'm related to and what the relation is. All these are through my mother's family. My father's side of the family doesn't seem to claim anyone.
