Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable distant cousins of Barack Obama
Wikipedia is |not an indiscriminate collection of information, and many of the stated relationships are speculative besides, and fail verifiability. It is fine to mention brothers (Neil, Jeb and George W. Bush) parents (George H.W. and George W. Bush) or powerful lineages (Prescott, George H.W. and George W.). Political influence gets passed down and shared in such families, just as in the Kennedys. But someone being the umpty-umpth distant cousin of someone else is trivial. Ancestry.com is a site which loves to draw up genealogy charts and speculate about distant ancestors, like 100,000 supposed descendants of Pocahantas
