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.

According to FamilySearch.org, Alexander Graham Bell, Inventor of the Telephone, is my 9th Cousin Five Times Removed. :phone:
Apparently we are the only ones who care about lineage.
When did your most recent Scottish ancestor immigrate or settle in the US?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

How can i get this i dont have this
If you go to familysearch.org and sign up, you can enter your family tree. They compare your tree to the trees of famous people in the activities section where there is a drop-down box that says "famous relatives". You might not match anyone if your tree isn't extensive. Many people built on parts of my family tree already. I have American lines going back into the colonial days in the 1600s.Quote:

FamilySearch gives me a different list, though. I take all of this with a grain of salt given the scarcity of surviving records from the lifetimes of many of these more distant ancestors as well as the lack of oversight on these public trees. I also have an ancestor where I'm pretty sure distant relatives have fabricated a more illustrious background for them with flimsy evidence purely for bragging rights.
