Using the amazing resources of geni.com, I was researching my connection to the Presidents of the United States of America when I decided to examine Michelle Obama's family tree. Eventually I discovered our common ancestor, Edward Wyatt (b.1677). Firstly, is my list correct? I think it is, but I may have made a mistake. If it is correct, can anyone tell me what is my relationship to Michelle Obama and what is the relationship between Michelle Obama and her husband? Are they distant cousins?

Check out this project which has hints on working with geni’s relationship calculator

It should be updated to mention the ancestor and descendant reports now available

His mom ties into the Bunch Family That would be Barry's mom before he converted to
Islam and became BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, The worst thing that ever happened to this GREAT LAND......He is my 12 cousion, you can pick your friends but not your Family.
