yep, I'm a 9th cousin of the prez. The cool thing is I'm also distant cousins with both Louisa May Alcott and Jane Austen!!!!!!!   Little Women was one of my favorite books growing up and of course Jane Austen is awesome. Reading their books I never would have thought we were related through the same great great great (you get the point) grandfather!

Anyway, this bit of info is kind of encouraging. There were a few more authors I was related to (oh and I'm distantly related to Audrey Hepburn too) according to ancestry.com but these two were the ones who really impressed me. I have to make it in the writng business--- it's n my blood! LOL!

I wish I had more info on my mother's side of the family, I can only pull up famous relatives through my dad's side because there's not enough info on my mom's side.
