Months ago I was idly Googling stuff, as I do now and again. I put in my great-great-grandfather’s name to see what would come up.

What came up, eventually, was a family tree for Barack Obama. And that’s how I found out we’re distantly related. I had no idea what the exact relationship was till tonight, though.

We are both descendants of Nathaniel FitzRandolph, 1642-1713 and we are something like ninth cousins. Woo hoo!
