Fun with Ancestry again

[gwynhefar]

So yesterday and today, suffering from a general inability to get any real work done, I've been ferreting out more of my family tree. Rutherford B. Hayes and Sigourney Weaver are now on my tree, as a 7th cousin 5 times removed and an 11th cousin once removed, respectively. I can also claim George W. Bush as a relative through marriage, but I won't. Rutherford and Sigourney now join Lady Godiva and half the royal families of Europe as the famous people I'm related to. Sadly, they are both once again on my biological father's side. My stepfather has famous relatives of his own. My poor mother, on the other hand, is not related to anyone famous that I can find. I think she feels slighted.

Aaah - she has no need to feel slighted, she is related to Mitochondrial Eve, and she is mentioned in many a dispatch

True enough. And I think she's pretty impressive in her own right.

That is how it should be - lovely sentiments.
