….MyHeritage.com, a family history network created by Gilad Japhet in 2003 – which has since expanded to support 42 languages and some 80 million users internationally – found the duo is 18 generations removed from a scandalous royal British affair.
Aaron Godfrey, vice president of marketing for the website, said that research performed by MyHeritage.com determined that Clinton and Trump are descendants from an adulterous tryst between John of Gaunt, son of King Edward III, and his mistress, Katherine Swynsord.
The two eventually married….
Godfrey noted that anyone can utilize the website’s algorithm-based data base to discover an unusual, or unexpected, branch of any given family tree.
“We have the tools for anybody to discover their family history and determine if they descended from royalty, or to find out more about their ancestors,” he said….
“To a certain extent, we’re all related,” he said. “And as we say around here, if people appreciate and internalize that, hopefully everyone will be a little nicer to each other.”

Re: the possibility of Tammy being a Trump.
My kid’s HS just put on Godspell and one of the disciples did a great impersonation of Trump as the rich man in the parable about the rich man and Lazarus. Later in the “let you who is sinless cast the first stone” scene, the disciples each confess a sin. The Trump impersonator dejectedly confesses, “I am Trump.” 😀
This is the exact reason I won’t do genealogy research.It would be
my luck to be related to somebody I loathe, ie Hitler.
” Its a small world after all ” ! :-0 Interesting story . Not buying it though.
