President Obama Related to First Documented Slave in America

Remarkably, the connection was made through President Obama’s Caucasian mother’s side of the family.

Ways to be Related

The ways of Relations This information has been posted due to a question posed to me earlier  information gathered from ScotHibb Here's a nice image showing a basic cousin tree...(borrowed from Wikipedia)...this is currently the furthest Geni will allow for a cousin to be listed out before becoming pathed to a parent or grand parent (i.e. third cousin thrice removed). The image below lets you see when a cousin is a cousin and to what degree and seperation they are to you (simply locate first person on top left row and second person in the top right row...then look to see where the diagnal lines meet and that's their relationship to each other). CP = Common Progenitor r = generations removed I would love to see this implemented past the third cousin thrice removed limit Geni currently has in place... ~ScotHibb 2007
