Can your cousin expand his wish list perhaps?

Re: Ali Khamenei

I don't know that we can get a good tree up on Geni so quickly but I think we can say there's connectivity.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei

"Khamenei holds the title of Sayyid, which means that he has direct patrilineal descent from Muhammad's daughter."

According to Geni:

https://www.geni.com/surnames/syed

"Syed's are the direct descendants of The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) Of Islam. The Prophet's daughter Syeda Bibi Fatima-tuz Zahra (R.A) was married to Hazrat Ali ibne Abu-Talib (R.A), (Fourth Caliph of Caliph of Rashideen) and who was also the youngest cousin of the Prophet of Islam."

That then would be

Unknown Profile, you want to MP Unknown Profile since you curate his father.

I changed his first name to Kim and last name to Jong-un. Also added the Korean. Feel free to change it back if it's a right to left thing. Just seems that's how it's written everywhere, to include Wikipedia.

For Bashar-al-Assad I've been looking through this

It does not appear there's any link to the Prophet's line or any exogamy events.

Unknown Profile Putin's family tree is a secret even the Kremlin cannot penetrate.

However, in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) it is interesting to note that Unknown Profile survivor of Buchenwald, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel from 1993 to 2003, and scheduled Keynote Speaker at the IAJGS 2015 Conference is A.J. Jacobs 11th cousin thrice removed: http://geni.com/XPcqH

It would be funny to connect him to Glenn Beck, since Beck has called Cass the most dangerous man in America. :) Could be a good talking point with regard to social and political implications.

You people got me going :-) Prophet Muhammad of Islam (PBUH) is your 41st great grandfather.

(Stalin would have died if he knew he had a Jewish connection!)

Unknown Profile If the following Wikipedia article is correct, Stalin's daughter and son married Jews.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin_and_antisemitism

. . . When Stalin's young daughter Svetlana fell in love with prominent Soviet filmmaker Alexei Kapler, a Jewish man twenty-three years her elder, Stalin was strongly irritated by the relationship. According to Svetlana, "He (Stalin) was irritated more than anything else by the fact that Kapler was Jewish". Kapler was convicted to ten years of hard labor in Gulag on the charges of being an "English spy."

. . . Stalin's daughter later fell in love with Grigori Morozov, another Jew, and married him. Stalin agreed to their marriage after much pleading on Svetlana's part, but refused to attend the wedding.

. . . Stalin's son Yakov also married a Jewish woman, Yulia Meltzer, and though Stalin disapproved at first, he began to grow fond of her.

. . . Stalin's biographer Simon Sebag Montefiore writes that Lavrenty Beria's son noted that his father could list Stalin's affairs with Jewish women.

That Hager family is related to almost everyone on GENI!!!

They were from Haag in Holland, that means that the name mean Hage in Swedish, or Garden in english. Just thought of the Garden of Eden Norm ; )

Unknown Profile is my fifth great uncle's son's wife's first cousin thrice removed's wife's daughter's husband's ex-wife's father.

Heeey Ulf:
You are indeed correct!!!

My wife's family left Portugal during the Inquisition,1492, and wound up in the Netherlands...in "The Hague"...eventually they moved on to Austria where they were known as "The Haguers" or people from "The Hague".

The Hagers have over 5000 connections on GENI and seem to be related to everyone...including most of the people on this page!!!

FROM GENI:
"Ulf Ingvar Göte Martinsson is your wife's (Rose Hager Galston) 44th cousin thrice removed."
