btw - I found out many years ago that I'm distantly related to Barbra Streisand - that stands to reason since we both have the same voice......

heehee.

It didn't? Maybe it was because I already had a list of ancestors to put in. It works for me. It's a really good program, actually.

Thanks, gonna check it out.

And all anti-Bush joking aside it is actually pretty cool to be related to a President...even if it is Bush. But I guess you're related to Bush I also, that's better than Dubya.

It's on the page with your ancestor. It doesn't always work.

Anyone with an old New England lineage is going to be related to a whole bunch of old famous founders, presidents, writers, etc. And to eachother. Hey cousins.

Hell, at least you're related to someone famous. I can't think of too many people of note from the Isle of Man, let alone those ascended from me.
