What about you? What did you do? Think you can fill a full alphabet?

Are politicians cut from the same cloth?

From NPR:

Sen. Barack Obama and Vice President Dick Cheney are distant cousins. President Bush and Sen. John Kerry have dozens of shared relatives. Megan Smolenyak, chief family historian at ancestry.com, talks to Alex Cohen about tracing back the family tree.

Looks like Walt Disney is also George Bush’s 13th cousin, once removed… interesting.
Better get back to work on my family tree.

The Wiki Tree

I don’t know how many of you looked at our new Wikipedia site yesterday… I haven’t worried with stats since I’m visiting it a lot and making additions, changes and such but I’ve run into a dilemma. I’m trying to map out our family tree (The Blundell/Scherbarth portion of it for now) and I’m not sure of the layout.

See what you think…

The way it is now (as of this posting) made sense to begin with, but it might be a bit more confusing now. As it is I show up under Heading 1 and 2. But maybe that’s how it should be. Feel free to add your thoughts by clicking on the discussion page, or leaving your comments here.
