Good morning, sir.

I heard that all US presidents have the blood of English kings.

I'd like to know if the candidates for 2020 have that particularity.

Yours sincerely,

People in this group will dispute it, but it is extraordinarily likely that everyone who was president is descended from at least one person who was King of England at some point. But no more likely for a president to be so than anyone else of western european stock.

However, it is equally certain that many many presidents do not have anything close to a traceable line to royalty. I don't believe the evidence supports one even for the current orange White House occupant.

I have also not seen one for Joe Biden. William Addams Reitwiesner had this:
http://www.wargs.com/political/biden.html

and I haven't seen Gary Boyd Roberts say anything about Joe Biden yet. (he may have, I just haven't seen it)

From a very cursory search, most of his family comes from Ireland. The Biden surname might come from Hampshire/Wiltshire. They appear to be yeomen/husbandmen in the 17th century.

This is from ten minutes' googling. Not for publication.

This is statistically likely, but not genealogically accurate. Periodically this kind of claim gets reported in the popular media, but the actual historical record does not bear it out. The pedigree of Andrew Jackson, for example, can't be traced beyond a great-grandparent, and there are others who have pretty obscure backgrounds that can't be traced before the 16th century. The people making the claim are basing it on sloppy genealogy.

There are variants of this claim that have been broadly reported. One was by an amateur American genealogist who purchased the publishing rights to one of the British Peerage trademarks and then portrayed himself as an expert on all things genealogical. Every four years for about two decades, he would send out a press release to the media claiming that in every American election, the candidate with the most/best royal ancestry won, and this inviolable rule could be used to pick the winner of the next election. It would be reported in the nature of the stories about the octopus who picked the winner of the World cup, or more traditionally, the groundhog who predicted then spring would arrive, but some people took it as serious reporting. Even if he picked it wrong, he would be back again the next election cycle claiming to have discovered a 'better' royal descent for the actual winning candidate than he knew about before the previous election, and thereby confirming his principle. He never provided any details on the pedigrees involved, and there is every reason to believe he was simply a charlatan, making it all up to get media attention. (In his obituary in a British newspaper, it was said that his upside was that he was always available to the press with a pithy fact they could publish, the downside being that it was usually incorrect.)

As an aside, his claim would be picked up by David Icke, a conspiracy theorist who believes that the Illuminati who have been secretly controlling the world since prehistoric times and from whom all of the royal houses are drawn, and because of this work, all of the presidents as well, are actually the descendants of alien reptilian humanoids.

The other version was by a 12-year-old who simply went on line to the crowdsourced pedigrees on FamilySearch and 'discovered' that every American president descended from king John. The media reported it as a 'look what the precocious girl has done' story, without fact-checking the original claim. Well, the FamilySearch trees are of similar quality to other crowdsourced genealogy collections that are online - a few carefully done, using appropriate scholarship with primary records, but most are the work of simple name-collectors, compiling their trees from other trees they in turn found online, without any understanding of the sources, caveats or anything else, and thus combining every jumped conclusion, fanciful assumption, etc. Again, there are a number of American presidents for whom no such authentic line has been traced.

I don't think Trump has such a documented line (if he did, I am sure NEHGS would have issued a press release by now, reporting "Trump is a cousin of Obama"). I seriously doubt Bernie Sanders does (his background is continental Jewish), and I am completely unfamiliar with Biden's roots.

Oops, I left out one candidate, Tulsi Gabbard. Her family were Anglo-Americans living on Samoa, but I am unaware of any attempt to trace her deeper ancestry.

Every US President except Van Buren descended from Royalty-even Trump his 10th Great grandmother was Lady Jane Stewart the granddaughter of King James V of Scotland. This is also my line, $.80 from Lady Jane’s son David Leslie born 1600 and I descend from their daughter lady Margaret Leslie born 1593 in Scotland. Biden needs to have his family tree done by a professional I’ve been doing this for almost 2 decades and I have sources which means I have proof for everything in my tree.

This may well be true, and Van Buren too, but in terms of proven royal ancestry the claim that they all have such descents is not well-founded. If one sets aside the wishful thinking and unfounded names-the-same assumptions, there are a lot more than just Van Buren who lack such a proven royal descent.

I don't think so. According to Geni, King James V of Scotland is my 6th cousin 13 times removed, but there is no relation with the current president, which would be there if the president were a descendant.

For more information, please check:

https://www.quora.com/Is-Donald-Trump-a-descendant-of-King-John-of-England

The article mentions Geni as an offender, and it had a connection earlier, but that was corrected later.

You misread this. It didn't say that Clinton or Hollande was "descended" from Louis X. It said that Clinton was "a relative" of Louis X, and that Hollande was "distantly related to" Pjhilip V, brother of Louis X. There's a difference...

The article deservedly "passed unnoticed" by the newsgroup in 2016. It was trash, and still is.

The supposed Roddham royal descent has been discussed - and dismissed - several times here. Check the archives....

On your first point, oops, sorry, you're right, I got confused.
On your second point, this royal descent is not through the Roddhams of Durham. It's through Hillary's French-Canadian ancestry through her mattrilineal greatgrandmother.

I overlooked that the article said that Hillary's relationship to Louis was via her maternal ancestry, not through her Rodham ancestry (which I misspelled as "Roddham").

The beginnings of Hillary's French ancestry can be seen here (scroll down to "Les émigrants percherons ancêtres de Hillary Rodham Clinton"):
http://www.perche-quebec.com/files/hillary-clinton/individus/hillary-clinton.htm#percherons
Most if not all of this can be seen in Genealogics - although with no linkage to to French monarchs, at least that I can see).

I believe that is because she is a descendant (like myself) of one of the “King’s Daughters”... girls and women selected to be sent to New France. The King financially sponsored between 600 and 1000 girls/women - they were of no familial relation to the king himself.

No. The article's wording makes it fairly clear that he meant Hillary was related to Louis X, who ruled centuries before the colonization of New France.

You clearly just don't know what is a “King’s Daughters”.

During 1663-1673, France sent to New France about 800 women to
be married, now known as “King’s Daughters” because the king
was paying for their travel. Some of them were found to have
some Royal ancestry, many many generations back as expected.

Now refering to the chart at
http://www.perche-quebec.com/files/hillary-clinton/individus/hillary-clinton-arbre.htm

it focusses on Perche, which is an area of France, partly in Normandy.
None of her ancestors in that page are royal.

So I verified all her Quebec ancestry based on that page, that is from

- Simon Campeau and Véronique Bourdeau (GFAN 27267)
- Joseph Godet and Jeanne Pilette (GFAN 112544)

I put my family sheet numbers for reference. But none is royal anyway.

None of the ancestors of Hillary is "royal" according to the various
researches made about Quebec early families.

But there are some “King’s Daughters” (Filles du roi) who have a
documented trail to some king.

The article indicates that "French geneologist (sic) Jean-Louis Beaucarnot" claim of her ancestry that, "Most notably, back 23 generations, she counts as a relative King Louis X le Hutin, known as 'Louis the Stubborn' in English." Who knows what it means by 'she counts as a relative' but one can not attribute this to a misunderstanding by Paulo over King's Daughters.

There is no lineage that far from her New France ancestry.

From

2 Joseph GODET
* married 1775-02-19 Pointe-Montréal (Ontario) [GFNA 112544]
3 Jeanne PILETTE

She descends from:

(by Louis Hébert and Marie Rolet, early pioneers)

954 Simon PAJOT
master tallow-chandler
dead before inventory 1563-11-09 (France)
* married about 1530 Paris (Paris : 75056) [GFNA 45456]
955 Jeanne GUERINEAU
born (France)
dead between will 1572-10-03 and inventory 1572-10-16 Paris
(Paris), buried Paris (Saint-Gervais) (Paris)

(by Jean Valiquette, enrolled in 1653)

814 Mathurin FOUREAU
dead after 1582-07-02 (France)
* married about 1550 Le Lude ? (Sarthe) [GFNA 127727]
815 Thenneline FAUCHART
dead after 1578-10-12 (France)


Her 2 farer ancestors are not from king's daughters. And none is close
to Louis X.

As for the claim "relative of Louis X", this is not from her Quebec
ancestry. And there are 3 king's daughters with royal ancestry. Also,
it is obvious she had many ancestors living in France at the same
time as Louis X, but also any French king until they left for New
France in the 1600s !

If Mr. Beaucarnot has found something new, but has yet to formally publish it, then you wouldn't know about it, would you?

In general, I find arguments along the lines of 'if I don't know about it, then it can't possibly exist' very unpersuasive.

He made a book and said that in his book. If he has found something,
you can be sure someone at least reacted to it or verified it.

But as I said, he is not an expert of New France. So, if he found
something, it would be from the "non Quebec" French ancestry, which
is very limited.

And like I said, this is not a logically sound argument, that someone has to be an expert in New France genealogy to find a royal line for a French family. I prefer to actually see what a claim is before I decide it has to be wrong, but to each his own.

If anyone is curious enough, the book is available on Amazon.

Here is a relevant quote from Google Books preview, which does not inspire much confidence: "une aieule descendante d'un bâtard de Bourbon la fait cousiner avect toutes les anciennes families royales de la vielle Europe. Comme Barack Obama, elle descend de notre roi Jean II le Bon et, comme lui, comme George Bush et comme son adversaire Donald Trump, elle compte parmi ses ancêtres la reine Isabelle d'Anglaterre, dite << la louve de France >>, fille de Philippe le Bel.

Problems:
1. Obama has no documented descent from Edward III of England or Jean II of France.
2. Trump has no documented descent from Edward III, either.

If there is no royal lineage for her on the Internet, it means

It is perfectly possible for a French genealogist to be competent in tracing a French family to royalty without having expertise in a distinct region where a member of the family happened to emigrate.

“Every US President except Van Buren descended from Royalty” .....
“I’ve been doing this for almost 2 decades and I have sources which means I have proof for everything in my tree.”

Well, I sure would love to see that. Many of us, especially the professional Gary Boyd Roberts, have done the presidential trees over the years. I want to be clear: there is NO PROOF of several of these supposed royal ancestries. And by “proof,” I mean contemporary documents. Unfortunately, I can find *sources* for anything I want, but *sources* are not *proof* unless they are contemporary and trustworthy. Example: as far as I know, not a single person has been able to find proof of any of President Andrew Jackson’s great-grandparents. That doesn’t stop multiple modern-day “sources” from claiming otherwise, making guesses based on flimsy ideas. As for Trump, his maternal Scottish ancestry is likely to contain some gentry, but there are conflicting claims about the line that have never been resolved. Other Presidents that have not been proven to have royal descent are: John Adams, Monroe, Tyler, Fillmore, Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, McKinley, Wilson, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Reagan, and Clinton. Some of these had First Ladies who have proven royal descent. And Buchanan and Polk *may* have Scottish royal descent, but it hasn’t been proven fully.

Certainly many of the US Presidents do have proven royal ancestry. About half of them. “All but Van Buren”? No.

“I’ve been doing this for almost 2 decades and I have sources which means I have proof for everything in my tree.”
Well, I sure would love to see that. Many of us, especially the professional Gary Boyd Roberts, have done the presidential trees over the years. I want to be clear: there is NO PROOF of several of these supposed royal ancestries. And by “proof,” I mean contemporary documents. Unfortunately, I can find *sources* for anything I want, but *sources* are not *proof* unless they are contemporary and trustworthy. Example: as far as I know, not a single person has been able to find proof of any of President Andrew Jackson’s great-grandparents. That doesn’t stop multiple modern-day “sources” from claiming otherwise, making guesses based on flimsy ideas. As for Trump, his maternal Scottish ancestry is likely to contain some gentry, but there are conflicting claims about the line that have never been resolved. Other Presidents that have not been proven to have royal descent are: John Adams, Monroe, Tyler, Fillmore, Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grant, Garfield, Arthur, McKinley, Wilson, Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Reagan, and Clinton. Some of these had First Ladies who have proven royal descent. And Buchanan and Polk *may* have Scottish royal descent, but it hasn’t been proven fully.
Certainly many of the US Presidents do have proven royal ancestry. About half of them. “All but Van Buren”? No.

Okay, so those lines are through Abigail Smith, wife of President John Adams.

The claimed royal descent(s) for John Adams Sr. are all, so far as I know, based on a bogus Welsh line for the family concocted with forged documents in the 19th Century. It was so well done that it even fooled NEHGS!

The 2009 edition of Ancestors of American Presidents doesn't have royal ancestry for John Adams. But John Quincy Adams has two lines through his mother. (Andrew Jackson has a very short known ancestry. No royal ancestry is indicated, because it's only four generations.)

Trump is a descendant of Royalty.
https://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2017/01/24/donald_trump_is_related_to_most_icelanders_and_dani/

Biden descends from john Adams (2nd President of the US). But we have yet to discover any Royal connections.
Focus on John Adams to find one, and you will have your answer.

i believe he does and possibly a closer connection than Trump to his royal ancestors.

Hilary did not but Bill did.

Obama's mother side did, and the Bush family does...

If Biden is elected, either his family does have a royal connection or somehow the chain is broken during this election.

Obama's royal descendency is based on a wild guess too, meaning that there is no reasonable proof for the connection of his immigrant ancestor Robert Terrell to William Terrell, of Bruyn and Reading. Many believe in it, as if the book by Emma Dicken were a gospel, but there are no sources in that book, and there are several discussions about alternative ancestries available on-line, including one on the home page of the Terrell Society:

I found a book by O. F. Brown who studied the Terrell Family for years. that goes. There really just isn’t much documentation on the early American Terrells except a few land grants/deeds. What seems most likely based on the evidence and conclusions presented in the book is that the Terrell brothers (Richmond and William) were descended from humble clothiers.

https://archive.org/details/tyrellsofengland00brow

Here is the transcription of the 1670 deed proving that Richmond and William Terrell were brothers:

Regarding Biden, I think I might have found a plausible route for a royal descent for him. Through his paternal grandmother, he is descended from Samuel Robbinett and Mary Taylor. Mary was daughter of William Clark Taylor, a Quaker from Cheshire that migrated to Pennsylvania. His ancestry is not proven. However, I think he might have been related to Robert Taylor, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Taylor-1524, another Quaker from Cheshire that migrated to Pennsylvania. The latter's paternal grandmother was Ellen Massey, who might have had a royal descent, as the Masseys of Cheshire are known to have had a royal descent. This is very conjectural but I think it's a good starting point for further research, unlike the whole Dykes nonsense.

I would leave out the words "a lot more" in that comment. The suggested Massey connection also appears to be just a guess. As with the Taylors, just having the same name is not evidence. Also, the Wikitree page cited for the ancestry of Robert Taylor is based on work of Alfred R. Justice, a genealogist noted for the sloppiness of his work. Several of my publications in TAG and TG concerning Quaker immigrants have disproven connections supposedly "proven" by Justice. So, unless something more substantial surfaces, there is no reason to believe that this will lead to anything.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring this up here - yes, a teenager a few years ago managed for reasons only known to the media to be broadly reported for 'proving' that all presidents are related. Here is the thing, though. this particular teenager, with all the naivety of an enthusiastic beginner, simply assumed that the various nonsense she found online was actual true, authentic genealogy, and the media, being the media, were so enamored over the 'accomplishment' of this precocious child that they didn't carry out the most simple fact-checking or expert interviews that would be entailed when reporting any other news story. They treated, not for the first time, as a human interest story, not the reporting of factual historical information, and it should be received by us the same way.

It is fairly easy to dispose of the idea that a Maud Ratcliffe was a daughter by Henry's first wife Elizabeth Howard who d 1534. Maud if placed there, would have been in her late forties at this marriage "c 1580" as stated in the list.

However there *was* a Maud. She married Thomas Mildmay of Moulsham however and had at least three children by him

See
http://books.google.com/books?id=hqwKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA251
Maud

So she was by Anne Calthorpe, the second wife.

The visitation pedigree you've cited is wrong with respect to the Ratcliffe wife of Thomas Mildmay. Her name was Frances, not Maud, and she certainly did not die in 1662 - especially since her husband died in 1608.

Yes, it IS a failing on your part. You came across a single source and posted it without checking further. That's just basic carelessness and sloppiness. Grow up and admit your errors.

And you misquoted CP regarding the marriage of in 1580 of Sir Thomas Mildway and Frances Ratcliffe. It does NOT say that she was his 1st wife. It says that Frances was a daughter of her father's 2nd wife - not the 1st wife as you say it says.

Finally it's hard to see how Sir Thomas Mildmay was "aged 44" in 1616 when per CP he died in 1608. Nice trick... I'm sure you have some impeccable source for this. No, it's probably just more Will Johnson carelessness.

Both CP and the original Visitation transcript cited contain errors in this case.

Sir Thomas Mildmay, Knt, died in 1608. His first wife was Frances, daughter of the Earl of Sussex by his (acrimonious and much litigated) second marriage. They were married much earlier than 1580 - July 1566 - and she died in 1602. He married secondly to Margaret Whetwell in 1605.

The Sir Thomas Mildmay of Moulsham who was aged about 44 in 1616 was the son and heir of Sir Thomas Mildmay and Frances Radcliffe; he was made a Baronet and died in 1626, leaving his brother Henry as his heir. NB His birthdate of about 1573 indicates that the 1580 marriage date for his parents is wrong.

Both Sir Thomas the knight and Sir Thomas the baronet have good bioographical entries in HoP.

I have found another possibility for a royal descent for Biden: Also through his paternal grandmother, he is descended from Captain Griffith Johnson, who many online genealogies place him as son of Thomas Johnson and Catherine Griffith. However,
https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/johnson/11729/ states that the book "https://books.google.pt/books/about/Progeny_of_Capt_Griffith_Johnson_1734_18.html?id=cmQoAwEACAAJ&redir_esc=y" proved this parentage to be wrong. Does anyone here have access to the book? If so, could you tell us why they reject this parentage?
Regardless, Catherine Griffith is, herself, often placed as daughter of Howell Griffith, a Welsh Quaker immigrant to Pennsylvania, though I have not seen a good source for this. Howell Griffith, himself, is often placed as a son of Llewellyn Griffith, who is, himself, often placed a son of Jenkin Griffith and Givern Powell, herself, supposedly a sister of Elizabeth Powell Humphrey, a well documented descendant of Edward I. Are any of those supposed filiations correct? Maybe Stewart Baldwin, an expert in Quaker genealogy, could help with this.

This Griffith Johnson died in 1805, a bit late to fit into Biden's known ancestry.
How is he assumed to connect?

Biden’s descent from Captain Griffith Johnson is well documented. The line is:
Griffith Johnson
Benjamin Johnson
Dorcas Johnson
Moses Johnson Robbinette
George Robbinette
Mary Elizabeth Robbinette
Joseph Robbinette Biden
Joe Biden

If you were on the right track records probably ought to have been

Quakers and Catholics to intermarry in the US?

Biden's Irish Catholic ancestry is mostly in his mother's side. His father's side is largely WASP. However, said paternal grandmother's mother was of Irish Catholic ancestry, too.

It is fairly easy to dispose of the idea that a Maud Ratcliffe was a daughter by Henry's first wife Elizabeth Howard who d 1534. Maud if placed there, would have been in her late forties at this marriage "c 1580" as stated in the list.
However there *was* a Maud. She married Thomas Mildmay of Moulsham however and had at least three children by him
See
http://books.google.com/books?id=hqwKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA251
Maud
So she was by Anne Calthorpe, the second wife.
And this is why visitations should be used with care. The Mildmay wife was indeed daughter of Earl Henry and Anne Calthorpe, but she was actually named Frances. CP has a full account of this family under FitzWalter. While the Earldom went extinct with the death of Earl Henry's male line, the sole heir to the FitzW peerage was eventually (posthumously for him) ruled to have been Frances' son, Sir Henry Mildmay.

There are some internet claims that there was a daughter Maud who died unmarried but I failed to find any supporting evidence for the claim. It is unclear if this is authentic, made up, or an attempt to retain the name Maud from the erroneous visitation while correctly replacing her with Frances as the Mildmay wife.

By the way, IIRC CP actually states that they married *in* 1580 and first wife
Which is false in one or the other particular since Sir Thomas Mildmay of Moulsham was "aged 44" in 1616

Biden descends from john Adams (2nd President of the US). But we have yet to discover any Royal connections.
Focus on John Adams to find one, and you will have your answer.
i believe he does and possibly a closer connection than Trump to his royal ancestors.
Hilary did not but Bill did.
Obama's mother side did, and the Bush family does...
If Biden is elected, either his family does have a royal connection or somehow the chain is broken during this election.

Wow. Every single statement from DWBMW TOKYO was unproven or completely false, with the minor exception of this half-sentence: “...and the Bush family does...”

To reiterate:
* Trump probably has Scottish gentry ancestors, but the records can’t prove it — and the line claimed for him is almost certainly false.
* Biden does NOT “descend” from Adams, and as far as I can tell has no known relation to him at all.
* John Adams does not have any known royal ancestry. His wife Abigail does.
* Biden has no known royal connections. No credible claims have been put forth, either.
* Neither Hillary Diane Rodham nor her husband William Jefferson Clinton (born Blythe) have any known royal connections. Bill has been granted a couple conjectures by credulous hobbyists in the past, but these don’t stand up to scrutiny.
* Obama’s Terrell connection has already been discussed (appreciated, enno).
* THERE IS NO “CHAIN” TO BE BROKEN. This silly conspiracy theory has been disproven time and time again.

Quick amendment:

Gary Boyd Roberts has two royal descents for Obama on his mother’s side, one through Mrs. Martha (Eltonhead) Conway of Virginia, and the other through Edward FitzRandolph of Mass. and NJ. Haven’t heard that either of these were in question, so that means the Terrell question is irrelevant.

Apologies, DWBMW TOKYO, you weren’t completely wrong (just mostly).

OK, thanks for that. I concentrated on Terrell because that was the closest link between myself and the former president, and my own royal ancestry comes from English immigrants, so I often think of royal ancestry of any person in the US as being equivalent to having a common ancestor with myself, ignoring that there may be more paths, that are valid.

What you wrote about Clinton suggests that I need to do some more cleaning here.

I'm not sure that it is really a conspiracy theory, unless nature is
supposed to be among the conspirators, but it is certainly silly beyond
the limits of ordinary brainlessness in the study of genealogy.

Maybe I am missing something, but I thought the tiresome nonsense
peddled here every four years was about descent from royalty rather than
specifically from Plantagenets.

In the case of Biden, surely anyone of Irish descent such as him is
statistically highly likely to be descended from kings. There were so
many of them, as a group privileged to breed healthily and as a fraction
of the general Irish population over such a long stretch of the medieval
period, that I suppose their blood has become very widely disseminated
in the modern world.

However, I suspect that having been comparatively successful and
responsible men in their own time they would have better things to do in
an afterlife than fret about deeply foolish ideas.

Point taken, Peter. And one could say, anyone with solely European ancestry is statistically almost certain to have a descendancy from Charlemagne, given the amount of time involved. But of course we remain ignorant of the exact nature of any such descents for Biden (from Plantagenets or Irish kings, or Charlemagne, or any other royalty), and that of course was my point.
Not that it matters in the least, beyond the curiosity of enthusiasts. Certainly not in deciding a modern election in a constitutional democracy.

Specifically, it was being 'the most royal' that guaranteed one election. THis has since been turned up to eleven by the theorists that the Presidents as royals, are all members of the illuminati, alien humanoid reptiles that have been running things behind the scenes for millennia.

Based on works like O'Hart's, one would think that every single Irish family were the direct male-line descendants of kings - the poor buggers had no ordinary peasants to rule over.

Yes, but no doubt they had acreages of turnips and other root vegetables

I believe the purported Trump "royal" descent here has been debunked several times before in this group. Check the archives.

And the Biden "royal" descent fails at Maud Ratcliffe, wife of Thomas Dykes. If she existed at all, she was not the daughter of the 2nd Earl of Sussex by either of his two wives.

Just more trash....

I am not finding any evidence that Henry Radcliffe, Earl of Sussex, had a daughter who married Thomas Dykes, as claimed. Sir Henry Mildmay would, in 1641, claim the FitzWalter peerage title based on his mother being the sole child of Earl Henry with issue, and this claim was accepted in 1669.

Looks like there is a flaw here.

I know the Bush descent is verifiable* down to Benjamin Wellington, and though I haven't looked into it, it looks pretty straightforward from there down. * There is one generation - that of immigrant Richard Palgrave - that is based on a chain of two reasonable 'name's-the-same' identifications but not directly attested, and it is pretty much universally accepted.

The Obama descent I have never looked at further down than the Stanley-Savage marriage, but I understand it to have been well researched.

The Trump descent is dubious - it forces a connection where there is no documentation to support it.

The Biden descent I have not seen before, and we have already identified a critical flaw.

Jesus, people. Of course the presidents have royal lineage.
Burke's Peerage Book of Genealogy lays it all out and it's the most accurate book that traces and tracks Royal Lineage in the world. It’s located in the UK but you can also access the data online. I’ve never seen a more accurate account. https://www.burkespeerage.com/families.php
Unfortunately JOE does not have Royal Lineage. Or none we can trace at the moment.
Trump does. I have no idea where you guys got King James from… President Donald J. Trump is the direct descendant of Hakon V King of Norway according to Icelandic genealogist Oddur F. Helgason. Mr. Trump is also related to Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Icelandic President Guðni Th. Johannesson of Iceland, and in fact almost all Icelanders.
So please stop spreading BS on forums if you dont know what you're talking about people.
45 Presidents so far have presided over America.
33 are genetically related to King Alfred the Great, and Carloman the great monarch of France.
19 are genetically related to England's King Edward III which has thousands of blood connections to Prince Charles.
14 of presidents are directly connected to the descendants of King Edward I.
Only a few Presidents who served were not genetically connected to Royalty but their wives were.
Every president who sat in the white house since the first elections in America in 1789, (only during elections) has been the candidate with the most European royal genes or... the most genes connected to an Aristocratic family of Europe.
Pres. Bill Clinton for example is genetically related to the house of Windsor, genetically related to every Scottish Monarch, and to King Henry III and to Robert I of France. But his wife is not. Ever wonder how she got 3 million more votes than Trump, but still lost.
Joe Biden is genetically related to John Adams the 1st US Vice President of the United States under Washington, then the 2nd President of the US. It is not clear if Adams has a Royal genetic connection but his wife did (Abigail Smith-Adams) who is a direct descendant of King Edward I through his daughter Elizabeth.
Presidents (because of the Electoral College) have been installed not voted in. Please don't kid yourself or believe otherwise. I've accepted it. Everyone else should. Unless you get rid of the Electoral College system you will never break this cycle.

The Aristocratic families of the East coast of America are obsessed with interbreeding. Read the writings of Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton author of the “The Coming Race” who talks about the very thing the Nazi’s also believed in, about the real power in the blood that created “supermen” etc. This obsession with holding the genetic structure has to do with what powers it gives them.
George Bush Sr. was a distant cousin of Barbara Bush, his wife.

genealogically, not genetically !!!
Post by Dwayne Wayne Miles
19 are genetically related to England's King Edward III which has thousands of blood connections to Prince Charles.
14 of presidents are directly connected to the descendants of King Edward I.
Only a few Presidents who served were not genetically connected to Royalty but their wives were.
Every president who sat in the white house since the first elections in America in 1789, (only during elections) has been the candidate with the most European royal genes or... the most genes connected to an Aristocratic family of Europe.
I think this was disproven.

Pres. Bill Clinton for example is genetically related to the house of Windsor, genetically related to every Scottish Monarch, and to King Henry III and to Robert I of France. But his wife is not. Ever wonder how she got 3 million more votes than Trump, but still lost.
ever heard of the electoral college in USA ?

I think this was disproven.
Not only disproven, completely without foundation. It didn't last beyond the first two contested elections (Washington was effectively the unopposed consensus candidate for president in the first two).

1796 - Adams beats Jefferson
1800 - Jefferson beats Adams

So, unless the Adams and Jefferson somehow acquired different ancestry in the intervening four years, one or the other of these elections did not follow pattern. This repeated itself in 1824/1828 (involving J Q Adams and Jackson, and anyone who really thinks Jackson was elected because he had the most royal connections in his ancestry has no clue whatsoever what he is talking about - central to his mythos was being a backwoods everyman made good and his victory in the electoral college in 1828 was the culmination of a wave of anti-establishment populism), in 1836/1840 (Van Buren/Harrison), and in 1888/1892 (Harrison/Cleveland).

This was all something Harold Brooks-Baker, the financier and genealogical hobbyist who purchased the Burke's Peerage franchise, simply made up because he was a shameless self-promoter and knew the media couldn't resist reporting on him if he made this outrageous claim. And it didn't matter if he picked the wrong candidate - like Groundhogs Day, four years later he would come out of his hole to make another prognostication, and if any press even remembered he got it wrong the time before he would claim to have 'discovered' a new connection that made the winner the true most-royal candidate. He never, ever, gave any actual evidence,.

More relevant to this group, he did the same with a 'Queen Elizabeth has Muslim ancestors' story that he would parade out to the British tabloids every few years, which basically ran, "the son and heir of Alfonso VI of Castile was born to his Muslim mistress. Therefore Queen Elizabeth has Muslim ancestry," completely ignoring the fact that infante Sancho died in his teens without issue. The press lapped it up and never figured out he was just a charlatan because the story was interesting enough to report, but not interesting enough to fact-check first (and these were the British tabloids, about whom journalistic integrity is not the first thing that springs to mind). His obituary gave a mixed review, saying that on the plus side he was always available to the press with a pithy quote or interesting story, the down side being that it was usually untrue.

Wrong. The 12 year old girl did not “prove” it. She gathered a bunch of information from trees on the internet. She did almost no original research whatsoever. Now, I am not one to cast aspersions on a 12-year-old for being enthused about genealogy — I can see some of my 12-year-old self in her. But to take her Ingenuous word as proof just because of some credulous media coverage is ridiculous. Her enthusiasm is to be commended, not her research skills.
Again, ABOUT HALF OF U.S. PRESIDENTS HAVE PROVEN ROYAL ANCESTRY. That’s it.

Jesus, people. Of course the presidents have royal lineage.
Burke's Peerage Book of Genealogy lays it all out and it's the most accurate book that traces and tracks Royal Lineage in the world. It’s located in the UK but you can also access the data online. I’ve never seen a more accurate account. https://www.burkespeerage.com/families.php
Unfortunately JOE does not have Royal Lineage. Or none we can trace at the moment.
Trump does. I have no idea where you guys got King James from… President Donald J. Trump is the direct descendant of Hakon V King of Norway according to Icelandic genealogist Oddur F. Helgason. Mr. Trump is also related to Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, Icelandic President Guðni Th. Johannesson of Iceland, and in fact almost all Icelanders.
So please stop spreading BS on forums if you dont know what you're talking about people.
45 Presidents so far have presided over America.
33 are genetically related to King Alfred the Great, and Carloman the great monarch of France.
19 are genetically related to England's King Edward III which has thousands of blood connections to Prince Charles.
14 of presidents are directly connected to the descendants of King Edward I.
Only a few Presidents who served were not genetically connected to Royalty but their wives were.
Every president who sat in the white house since the first elections in America in 1789, (only during elections) has been the candidate with the most European royal genes or... the most genes connected to an Aristocratic family of Europe.
Pres. Bill Clinton for example is genetically related to the house of Windsor, genetically related to every Scottish Monarch, and to King Henry III and to Robert I of France. But his wife is not. Ever wonder how she got 3 million more votes than Trump, but still lost.
Joe Biden is genetically related to John Adams the 1st US Vice President of the United States under Washington, then the 2nd President of the US. It is not clear if Adams has a Royal genetic connection but his wife did (Abigail Smith-Adams) who is a direct descendant of King Edward I through his daughter Elizabeth.
Presidents (because of the Electoral College) have been installed not voted in. Please don't kid yourself or believe otherwise. I've accepted it. Everyone else should. Unless you get rid of the Electoral College system you will never break this cycle.
The Aristocratic families of the East coast of America are obsessed with interbreeding. Read the writings of Lord Edward Bulwer-Lytton author of the “The Coming Race” who talks about the very thing the Nazi’s also believed in, about the real power in the blood that created “supermen” etc. This obsession with holding the genetic structure has to do with what powers it gives them.
George Bush Sr. was a distant cousin of Barbara Bush, his wife.
Have you heard of "Ancestors of American Presidents"? It lays out those connections...and a lot of presidents have no known royal ancestry.

This is just plain false, as addressed elsewhere. Thomas Jefferson gained no royal ancestors between when he lost to John Adams in 1796 and when he beat him in 1800 - not only was this not a general pattern, it didn't even survive the first two contested elections. John Quincy Adams did not become less royal between 1824 and 1828, etc. This lie was publicized by Burke's Peerage - that tells you everything you need to know about their reliability.

Not exactly. They have indeed been voted in, only they were voted in by either the electors of the Electoral College or (1800, 1824) by the House of Representatives, the members of which are in turn voted in.

Curiously, it was the House of Representatives that sided with the eastern elite's favored candidate in 1824, even though the Electoral College had given a plurality but not a majority in favor of the backwoods hick. All of this conspiracy theorizing aside, there have only been a small number of US elections that could be deemed as manipulated in a manner not envisioned by the Constitution, in which I would count 1800, 1824, 1876 and 2000. In the original Constitution, each electors had two votes and the person who got the most overall would be President, he who received the second-most Vice President, but it had naively not anticipated the emergence of political parties, and in 1800 every pro-Jefferson elector would also vote for this VP-candidate-designate, so the two ended up with the same number of electoral votes, the VP-designate decided there was no reason he should not be President and did not yield, and much backroom chaos (and eventually the most famous duel in American history other than the Shootout at the OK Corral) ensued. In 1876, there was dispute over the status of one elector from one state (a partisan Governor declared one winning elector to have been ineligible and appointed an elector of the opposite party, which would have swung the majority in the opposite direction. This required an Electoral Commission to sort out and they reached a despicable compromise - they ratified the unsubstituted electoral panel, in exchange for the winner removing all of the post-Civil War strictures that ensured the vote to freed slaves, and as a consequence, African-Americans were disenfranchised, initially throughout the south but later in much of the nation for the next 9 decades. Finally (or perhaps not) in 2000 the candidate who rightly won a majority of states' electors did not become president, because the Supreme Court terminated a recount at an incomplete stage, such that the winner was not the person eventually found to have won the most votes in that state. I am not seeing a pattern here of manipulation by 'the eastern elite' to seat a given president, and in particular in 1876, elections for the next 4-score and more years were distorted at the cost of _not_ having their man as president in this one election.

Not necessarily through the Icke surname, but his mother was born a Cooke

Lest anyone come across this in the archive, I should probably clarify. The basic outcome of 1824 the founders did envision, the House voting to elect a president if the Electoral College failed to return a majority. After all, they put it into the Constitution, and the idea that the preferred candidate of the rabble would necessarily be the best president, and hence the one they must vote for, is antithetical to the whole reason the Electoral College was created as a group of the most-knowledgeable and conscientious better suited to make the right choice. What they would not have envisioned in their idealistic conception of government was that someone would rather than voting for the best person would (allegedly) offer to have their bloc vote for a candidate only if he would be named Secretary of State. In this case, the elite did pick their candidate over the will of the people, but it had nothing to do with genealogy and everything to do with venal ambition and it could just as well have gone either way, depending on who was willing to make the deal.

Pretty amusing, Dwayne. Telling professional genealogists (myself not included) to stop spreading BS, and then turning around to regale us with your enlightened pop-genealogy conspiracy theory about the “most royal candidate.” Yawn.
Two more quick things:
There have been 44 different presidents, not 45. Ignorance does not become an impassioned rebuttal.
“I’ve never seen a more accurate account.” — I have no doubt this is a true statement.
