Berry Gordy Jr. - Music & Presidents

Jacqueli Charlene Finely we are 12th cousins!
https://www.geni.com/path/Janet-Masingill+is+related+to+Jacqueli-Fi...

So I have this theory about the Democratic candidates. Only Biden is eligible as a contender because I'm related to him.
(I'm NOT related to Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker or Bernie Sanders. LOL.)

~ M. Foss N

P.S. I'm still NOT related to Woodrow Wilson, but I'm related to Jacqueli and all other U.S. Presidents and to all but two Vice Presidents.

For Vice Presidents I'm NOT related to:
* Elbridge Gerry
* Thomas Andrews Hendricks

Our ancestry, Presidents, DNA and blood is non-partisan. USA is a Republic based on Democratic ideologies.

Elections are the vote of the people ...

Ultimately (my Theory) it is up to God.

In my humble opinion.

Hello private

https://www.geni.com/path/Joe-Biden-47th-Vice-President-of-the-USA+...

Also did you know... Trump is closer to Obama than to HRC!?

Barack H. Obama, 44th President of the USA is Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the USA's 13th cousin 6 times removed.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th U.S. Secretary of State is Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the USA's 17th cousin twice removed.

I don't know if you can find a path to VP Elbridge Thomas Gerry, Sr. thru me or not, but he's my blood.... https://www.geni.com/path/Diana+is+related+to+VP-Elbridge-Gerry?fro...

I can.
VP Elbridge Thomas Gerry, Sr.

https://www.geni.com/path/Janet-Masingill+is+related+to+VP-Elbridge...

VP Elbridge Thomas Gerry, Sr. is:

4th cousin 2 times removed of Herman Melville (Author of Moby Dick)
4th cousin 4 times removed of Tennessee Williams (Author of A Streetcar Named Desire)
4th cousin 5 times removed of John Ernst Steinbeck Jr. (III) (Author of The Grapes of Wrath)
4th cousin 6 times removed of Linda Hamilton (TV and Movie Actress)
4th cousin 6 times removed of Gerald Ford, 38th President of the United States
4th cousin 7 times removed of Raquel Welch (Movie Actress)

Cool!

M. Foss N....
Lie you, I'm related to ALL of the U.S. presidents EXCEPT Woodrow Wilson, and I'm related to all of the Vice Presidents EXCEPT Elbridge Gerry & Thomas Andrews Hendricks!

But here's the difference between us, which might upset your theory...
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is my 15th Cousin 3x Removed
(and for anyone who cares, I'm 15% Native American, my mother is 25% and her father is 55%, and I demonstrated to congress that Warren is in fact my cousin and that she is demonstrably related to AT LEAST three Cherokee Chiefs).

ANYwho... but I'm also not related to Kamala Harris, Cory Booker or Bernie Sanders.

BUT, Beto O'Rourke (our next president) is my 17th Cousin 1x Removed.

typo...
"Lie you" was meant to be "Like you"

Raquel Welch is my 12th cousin.
She' not directly related to Berry Gordy, but she IS 10th cousin of Jimmy Carter who is Berry's 2nd cousin.

Funny story... when I was a kid in the late 70s/early 80s, I loved watching the Muppet Show; but when Raquel Welch did a raunchy dance wearing a skimpy dress when she was a guest on the show, my mom yelled, "Turn that filth off!" and the Muppet Show was permanently banned in our home. If only Mom had known back then that I was gay and that I couldn't have cared less if she was buck-naked...!! LOL.

https://www.geni.com/path/Thomas-A-Hendricks-21st-Vice-President-of...

https://www.geni.com/path/Albertus-Hendricks-Sr+is+related+to+Jimi-...

This would make Thomas A. Hendricks, 21st Vice President of the USA and Jimi Hendrix blood to each other.

https://www.geni.com/path/Diana+is+related+to+Jimi-Hendrix?from=600...

Wait a minute....is Thomas A. Hendricks, 21st Vice President of the USA hooked up to the right Hendricks???

I found this....

It's fun to speculate with you Cuz James! So let me start... You may be independently related to Elizabeth Warren, but just because your heritage is of the indigenous people, doesn't mean that Elizabeth has that portion of your genes. For example, I'm related to Obama, but I haven't any African heritage. I'm related to Obama through his mama.

Beto O'Rourke is my 19th cousin (so your guy has a shot at becoming President one day)! BTW, Check to see if you have Elvis Presley & Walt Disney!

Also LOL, on the "lie" vs. "like" =) I got a kick out of that one. Have a super day.

I added all the links into overview of following profile, plus 1 source....

Daniel Hendricks

This is the main one to look at....dna

https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/hendricks/about/background

Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th U.S. Secretary of State is:

9th cousin of Justin Trudeau, 23rd Prime Minister of Canada
9th cousin of https://www.geni.com/people/Céline-Dion/6000000002743345797
9th cousin of Chris Pratt (Fiancée of Katherine Schwarzenegger)
9th cousin of Kelsey Grammer
9th cousin once removed of Madonna
9th cousin 3 times removed of Unknown Profile (Husband of Unknown Profile)
10th cousin once removed of Melissa Benoist

Check to see how it's for you:
Marilyn Monroe is my 14th cousin four times removed.
John Wayne is my 19th cousin.
Audrey Hepburn is my 14th cousin twice removed.
It starts to get boring after a while. LOL.

When I first realized that I was blood to about every famous person that I could think of, it was exciting. Now, I still think it's kinda neat when I discover someone new....and I add them into my overview. People don't believe me when I tell them I'm blood to so many famous people. My husband rolls his eyes at me when I mention someone new....and he says " Yea...right". He asked me one time if I figured out if he was blood to anyone famous yet, and I responded with "Yea....me....by marriage." He saw no humor in that.

I guess this all plays into gent's goal.....to show that we all connect. It doesn't matter what color you are....what age you are....what financial status you are....

We all have the same red blood running thru our veins, and in the end....we will all have to face death. Enjoy the time that we are given here. Take in all of it's beauty.

It's important to remember that EVERY human being that has ever lived is a "blood" relation, or cousin, to EVERY other human being via EVERY single branch of their ancestry.

It's simply a case of determining the MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor) between any two given individuals (if possible given the evidence that exists).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor

So, the question isn't "IF" someone is related to somebody else, but "HOW" exactly are they related.

An interesting upshot of this is that not only may your parents, grandparents, etc. be related by marriage but they may also unknowingly be 15th cousins twice removed, for example.

Many genealogists have discovered, not only who the common ancestor is between their parents or grandparents, but also between themselves and their partners.

Of course, this also means that we are all our own cousins many times over!

The following also makes for interesting reading:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_Eve

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-chromosomal_Adam

I'm happy to be related to Erica, Janet, Jacqueli, Diana, etc.

And I'm elated that I'm NOT RELATED to Nancy Pelosi! LOL
Nancy Pelosi, 52nd Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives

An important thing to bear in mind is that DNA is only 50% of a person's heritage. Genealogy is the other 50%. We need both to properly connect to our past. We have a much bigger heritage than just what shows in our DNA test. For example, I have found MANY people of African heritage in my genealogy, but my DNA and my parent's DNA shows none. BUT, my mother's sister (my aunt) shows several African markers in her DNA - and she & my mother have the same parents. ALL of the African relatives of my aunt are also my relatives by genealogy, even though I see no African in my DNA.
Ditto with Elizabeth Warren; her DNA may not have shown a huge Native America percentage, but she is most certainly of Native American genealogy. :)

Yes, I am related to both Walt Disney & Elvis Presley (Elvis is Walt's 9th Cousin).
My brother is a professional Elvis tribute artist with multiple accolades including nine GigMaster awards (https://www.gigmasters.com/elvis-impersonator/dan-cunningham), so it was exciting for him to discover that connection. Here's a few of my connections:
