### Famous

Who do you know that is:

- 5th cousin 5 times removed to Joseph Smith?
- 5th cousin 4 times removed to Wilford Woodruff?
- 9th cousin to Dallin Oaks? 3rd cousin 1 time removed to Robert D. Hales?(And actually related in some way to nine of the living apostles?)
- 4th cousin 1 time removed to Merrill J. Bateman?
- 7th cousin 4 times removed to that dang J. Golden Kimball?
- 4th cousin 7 times removed to John Adams (second president of the US)?
- 2nd cousin 7 times removed to Lyman Hall (signer of the Declaration of Independence)?
- 9th cousin 2 times removed to Bing Crosby?
- 8th cousin 2 times removed to Philo T. Farnsworth (inventer of the TV)?
- 6th cousin 15 times removed to William Shakespeare?
- 8th cousin 4 times removed to Mark Twain?
- And related in fewer than 10th cousins to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, and Richard Nixon?
- Oh, and first cousin once removed to Glenn Pace of the Seventy? (That's your biggest clue!)

Me! And, by logical extension, all my brothers and sisters!
How did I figure all this out? Well, by dint of much exhaustive work...oh, okay, so all I did was go to this website and put in the Ancestral File numbers of all my great-grandparents! (Go to "advanced" in self-report.) If you want to generate your own report (and I didn't even add the part about Winston Churchill, or Orvill and Wilbur Wright, or all the royalty...so you might want to see it for yourself!), I posted the AF #'s in the first comment. (Mema would only have to put in the AFNs of her grandparents.) Want to know something interesting? Grandpa Pendleton is related to Glenn L. Pace, too...so, Mema and Daddy were related! Ewww! (Just kidding!!!! For that matter, Brad's related to the Bush Family too, so we're also related.)
Have fun, all you famous people!

  All of the "0" are zero, not the letter "O". The (SFFF) is Self-Father-Father-Father, or our paternal great-grandfather. Mema's would be Amos Pace (SFF), etc.
