According to The New England Historic Genealogical Society, newly elected Senator Scott Brown and President Barack Obama are 10th cousins.
Back in 2008,
“the society discovered that Obama is related to seven prior presidents, including George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. They also learned he was related to Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.”
Perhaps we are not all brothers in the literal sense. It appears, however, we may all be tenth cousins.
