George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the USA - George H. W. Bush, 41st President of the USA is MY 13th cousin twice removed.

Condolences to the Bush family. President George Bush, my 12th cousin. We have the same 11th great grandparents.

Gerard Spencer, Sr.

Deepest sympathy for the family and loved ones of the Bushes. RIP President HW Bush. God bless you.

Condolences to the Bush family. Rest in Peace President HW Bush 41. Bless you and your family.

We share the same 11th Grandfather Richard Austin the first. We are 12th cousins,

Interesting information. My Y DNA ties me to the 4 Spencer Brothers and their father Gerard. My stepson cooked dinner for George W. Bush and Governor Perry of Texas one evening. The President gave him a presidential flag pin.

Does anyone understand why Geni would say George H. W. Bush is your 13th cousin, yet if you follow a tree that you know is shorter you verify he is your 9th cousin, then Geni changes and says he is your 9th cousin over his profile? I find this is very common on Geni. I have even had it say my 3rd great grandfather is a distant uncle once until I follow the tree for it. Geni sometimes has trouble finding the shortest relationship.

I know from my experience, as my tree grows, it has changed my path to some....so I am blood to many profiles 2 and sometimes 3 different ways. I wish geni had a "button" that you could push that shows how you relate by "only a blue" path. Some of my paths shows changing of relationship, (for example) going from blue to red, then green, then...another color...etc....but I don't want to see those paths...ONLY BLUE!

Or better yet, a "button that shows "ALL PATHS"....but that would probably make geni's computer system have a stroke and show you a hundred different ways.

Geni will always show the blue path if it exists. If it does not show a blue path anymore, it is backseat the line was cut.

So very....untrue...

EXAMPLE.....

When I click on the following profile...

Thomas Alexander Love

it shows THIS path....

Thomas Alexander Love is your mother-in-law's husband's second great grandfather

You → Ricky L Johnson your husband→ Joann Johnson his mother→ Olin David Johnson her husband→ Grace Elizabeth Johnson his mother→ Mollie Kirkley her mother→ Mary Asberry Wallace her mother→ Thomas Alexander Love her father

When I click on Thomas's FATHER....

Michael Garmon Love

it shows me THIS path...

Michael Garmon Love is your 11th cousin four times removed.

You → Shirley Ann Collins your mother→ Nellie Marie Hunter her mother→ Phoebe Jeanette Goosman her mother→ Lavina Ruth Hendershot her mother→ William Pittman her father→ Betheanna Pittman his mother→ Jacob Truax her father→ Rebecca Abigail Truax his mother→ Elias Stillwell, I her father→ Capt. Nicholas Stillwell, IV his father→ Abigail Stillwell his mother→ Robert Hopton, MP her father→Rachel Hopton his mother→ Anne Hall her mother→ Sir Christopher Willoughby, Kt. her father→ Sir Thomas Willoughby, Chief Justice his brother→
Elizabeth Willoughby his daughter→ Ann Thomas her daughter→ John Thomas her son→ Mary Saunders (Thomas) his daughter→ Ann Berry her daughter→ William Berry her son→ Enoch Berry his son→ Patience Ingram his daughter→ Mary Elizabeth Love her daughter→ Jonah A. Love her son→ Michael Garmon Love his son

Sooooooooooooo, Thomas is a cousin, but it doesn't show an "ALL BLUE" path...it shows a "RAINBOW" path.

I am a cousin to George Senior on 3 of my grandparents trees. I also support and wish Geni would create a multiple path button.

I agree, on several occasions Geni crosses my lines in not the most efficient way.

"peace and condolences to the Bush Family."

A trick I use is to pushpin from a near relative (say a grandparent) to a “target” such as President Bush.

I have different paths depending on whether I from mothers side or fathers side, and the pushpin method makes that easier to see.

THANKS ERICA!!! I tried it....trying to find an all blue path to Donald Trump. FOUND IT!!! Now the only President I don't have an all blue path to is Woodrow Wilson. I still wish an "all blue button" was available so we didn't have to go thru that process.

Maybe one day Geni will get there. Buy them a SuperCray computer? :)

Geni gives me two paths to Dubya.

Here is the directest from my grandad
