Looks Who’s Related: John Tyler and Jimmy Carter
Today is the 221st anniversary of President John Tyler‘s birth. Thanks to the birthday paradox, I figured that another US President might also share his birthday. Not quite, but President Jimmy Carter‘s brother Billy Carter does. Former UK Prime Minister John Major does as well.
Maybe shared birthdays aren’t as reliable as I’d hoped, but I was able to find some very interesting relationship paths. Take a look:
Walt Disney is John Tyler, 10th President of the USA’s 11th cousin twice removed
Ellen DeGeneres is John Tyler, 10th President of the USA’s 13th cousin 6 times removed
As always, we encourage anyone and everyone to jump in, and make the world family tree better with sourced information. There might be even better relationship paths out there. Let’s find ’em!
