 CATEGORIZATION and US_PRESIDENTS.

We were able to identify that we are Cousins with 32 different US Presidents.  And connected by marriage to another 13.  There is only 1 President we could not make a connection with.    Any guesses?

I am blood related to 30 of them. You actually connected to all of them. Grover Cleveland served as both the 22nd and 24th U.S. President, meaning he is counted on WikiTree as one person but throws the numeric count off. Great trick question!

According to the Connection Finder, I have 34 Blood Related US Presidents. Despite this, I'm surprisingly way too lazy and unmotivated to take on such an arduous job! I'm pretty sure Honest Abe and John Adams would be somewhat disapproving of this sentiment.

And by the way, you and I appear to be tenth cousins, so I'm hoping you got the more 'energetic' genes!!

Dear Michael,

    I have 34 "cousins" among the US Presidents.  Plus eleven "connections".  So I guess I've got 'em all!

    In the past, I've been told [[Van_Buren-1|Martin Van Buren Sr. (1782-1862)]] is the one many people are missing.  But I have a NY - New Amsterdam family which connects to him.  Is he the one you are missing?  -NGP

I also connect to Martin Van Buren Sr. through my New Amsterdam family. He is my 4th cousin, 9x removed.

I am cousins with 31 American Presidents, and 12 that I'm connected with.

Just like to add that I am also related to James Madison Sr. He is my 9th cousin 5times removed, according to FS, so his son, James Madison Jnr., would be my 10th cousin 4 times removed. This is via our ancestors the Cope family.

Amazing to find that through my grandfather, Henry Daniel Woodward we are also related, he is my 5th cousin 6 times removed. According to Ancestry.com. Two different branches of our family tree.

Which brings a total of 32 cousins.

I am releted to 33 or 34 US Presidents. If you count Stephen Grover Cleveland twice...My closest is John Adams third cousins 8x removed
