July 6 - Presidential Roots

July 6 – President George W Bush was born today in 1946. Read about his family ties and learn how to explore your own presidential roots in the December 2004 Family Tree Magazine.

After reading this tip in 2006, I researched the then President Bush’s genealogy tree. I found a familiar name as to my half siblings. What a surprise to find out that the first President Bush is my siblings 9^th cousin through their father’s lineage. From this I research the other president’s that were related to the Bush family and found they are also related to President Garfield.
