President Obama wrote a book about his father. He's kept his mother's life a bit more private, partly, I think, because she died too soon, and it's still raw.

If you are a litle unsure , I think it is best to take part in a DNA TEST for example via GENI.com .

I am also related to him after these GENI paths.

Good to raise questions in that project so those who follow it can help.

i'm still confused as to what test to do;
or, should i have my brother do the test instead ?
if i have a tooth from my deceased father - can it be used for dna testing?

Hi Susan

If you raise the DNA test questions in that project http://www.geni.com/projects/DNA-Testing-Choosing-a-test/10529 it would be easier to get the attention of those who know more (not me - I'm a beginner at it)

His mother is White. Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham (who went by Ann) was an American anthropologist who specialized in the economic anthropology and rural development of Indonesia. She was the mother of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States. His name is Barry Sorento, he changed it to Barack Husien Obama by choice. Through his mother's side, he is my 14th cousin, and I'm White.
