As you know, we have deep roots in the USA. We are related, distantly, to numerous Leaders. Don't get too stuffy about it, though, everyone whose ancestors have been in America for a long time have similar connections. We are related to these people, sometime 11th cousins and 5 times removed.
Our closest Presidential cousin is good old "Give Them Hell" Harry Truman. He is our Great Great Grandfather Daniel Jackson Hullinger's 5th cousin, which makes my cousins and I 5th cousins, 3 times removed. The lineage below shows how we are related, back to Switzerland.
You can check this out by creating a free account with familysearch.org, which is free and administered by the Mormons. You can add to the information on our tree.
It also has an interesting feature where you can compare people to see if they look like their relatives. The higher percentage the more you look like them.
Try it, you will like it. Go to familysearch.org, create a free account, and put yourself and your parents in and you will have the deep genealogy. And that plus a couple of bucks will get you a cup of coffee, but this is kind of fun.
