All of these are from my father's side.

My Mom has an account there too with more historical relatives.

I don't know how to merge our trees.

My Mom has many more historical relatives in Family Search. I logged into her account and did a small screenshot of the start of her list.

I managed to merge my tree of my paternal line with my Mom's tree on Family Search. I have many more famous relatives now.

I'll post the first 12 Leaders.

Apparently we are the only ones who care about lineage.

When did your most recent Scottish ancestor immigrate or settle in the US?

When did your most recent Scottish ancestor immigrate or settle in the US?

My most recent was from Northern Ireland in 1874 or 1875 but my connection to Alexander Graham Bell is through an English line that has some Scottish lines further back. The common ancestor is Sir George Leslie 4th Earl of Rothes (1485-1558).

Lucille Ball is my 10th Cousin 3 times removed. She descends from his sister, Frances Cromwell.

I'm sorry I didn't notice your post from the 15th until now. You're right. We seem to be the only ones that care about lineage.

I've always felt an affinity with you, now I know why.

I went back to familysearch to see how I am related to the US Presidents and how many of them. I'm distantly related to 31 US Presidents including John F. Kennedy. JFK is my 12th Cousin Once Removed. I discovered that, according to FamilySearch, I have Irish ancestors too. My common ancestors with JFK were from 1500's Ireland. I am also a 12th Cousin Once Removed to his wife, Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis. I thought she was all French but she wasn't - she was part English. Our common ancestors were English.



My most recent Irish ancestor was Joanna O'Carroll.


Brief Life History of Joanna O’Carroll
When Joanna O’Carroll was born in 1675, in Tipperary, County Tipperary, Ireland, her father, Daniel Anthony O’Carroll, was 18 and her mother, Elizabeth 'Purdy" O'Brien, was 15. She married Joshua Howard in 1695, in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, British Colonial America. They were the parents of at least 3 sons and 4 daughters. She died on 12 August 1763, in Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland, British Colonial America, at the age of 88, and was buried in Howard Graveyard At Grayrock, Pikesville, Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

Getúlio Vargas is my 9th cousing twice removed.


I'm sorry I didn't know who he was. I googled him.


Getúlio Dornelles Vargas was a Brazilian military officer, lawyer, and politician who served as the 14th and 17th president of Brazil, from 1930 to 1945 and from 1951 until his suicide in 1954.

I have a half uncle who committed suicide on my father's side and one of my maternal grandmother's sisters committed suicide.
