Your friend on the genealogy channel thinks m1tochondrial DNA is passed down solely through the mother. That isn't believed believed to be true any longer, so his theory about m1tochondrial Eve can't be correct as stated; this is critical to his theory and so destroys his credibility.
Was there any president with no close relations at all in the 8th degree region? And you could have added a graphic with all presidents sorted by how many of the other presidents they have such relations to (not who to ro family tree or all, just like an Atomic chart the mere number of connections, would be complicated enough ;))
He's your favorite, the guy in top 10 most racist president lists? Anyone having a favorite president is a major red flag tbh. All US presidents are bastards. They are like cops that way.
Calvin Coolidge is my third cousin, twice removed. I met his surviving son when I was a boy, in the late 1960s. My Great-grandmother had gone to Normal School and was Calvin Coolidge's teacher for a year in Plymouth Notch, VT. I remember reading a Ripley's Believe It or Not! about FDR being related to the most other Presidents, and it looks like he has added a few.
2:19 The fact that Martin Van Buren is related to the Roosevelt shouldn’t be surprising because both families are descended from some of the original Dutch settlers
No surprise when you hear the names too: van buren means (in a literal sense) of neighbours and Roosevelt could be translated to Rozen veld (Field of Roses in Dutch).
Mr beat. This was a great video. I’m happy to say I’ve taken the afternoon off on Monday just to listen to you and Chris talk about our president’s… man that’s gonna be a good one lol.
@@iammrbeat thanks! See you then cousin! We’re you related to anyone else? My closest cousins that were presidents are.. John adams.. George Washington.. William Taft and the Roosevelts!
My Masters Thesis was on this very topic. It was titled "The Taft/Ohio Connection" I never could decide which of the two to name it but if my advisor hadn't left my school for Columbia I would have finished it and I bet it would have been great.
@@iammrbeat probably won't Cousin. I'm all about Cloud Computing and other tech stuff these days. You're my history Channel now. You're also my biography, A&E and Bravo since they're all full of reality trash these days
There were 7 presidents born in Ohio. Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft and Warren G. Harding.
All I knew before hand were the Adams', Roosevelts, Harrison's, Bush's and Taylor and Madison being second cousins. Therefore, this video was very interesting to me, I had no idea how related these presidents were. This also makes me think about which president(s) I'm related to. I could see my grandpa being related to like 15 presidents. He also looks a lot like Ike, if that means anything.
AND YOU ALL FORGOT BILL CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA IS ALSO MY COUSINS AS WELL. AND GEORGE BUSH IS MY COUSINS AS WELL. WE HAVE OF PRESIDENTS 14 OF THEM HAVE BLACK IN THEM. FDR TDR OBAMA OLDER PRESIDENTS ALL RELATED.
Most blacks and think there was only 1 black president OBAMA and FDR MY DAD SIDE OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO 4TH COUSINS TO FDR, OBAMA CLINTON, BOTH BUSHES DAD AND SON. REGAIN
I'm glad that Mr. Beat is encouraging people to dig a little bit into their family history. It's a fun way to learn about history. If you keep digging you'll see that your family was impacted by history one way or another. History touches everyone. I'll never forget one of the first discoveries I made when I started doing genealogy: It was my grandpa's cousin. He was a highly decorated hero of WWII. No one in the family ever spoke of him. Not a single word. It was probably too painful. So it was weird when I dug a little deeper and discovered his amazing story: My grandpa's cousin and his pilot were the last two American servicemen to die during the Battle of Midway. They were shot down while attacking a Japanese battleship. They scored a hit, setting the ship ablaze and killing about 500 Japanese sailors. The following year the Navy honored my grandpa's cousin and his pilot by naming two brand new destroyer escort ships after them. The ships were the USS Griswold and the USS Bunch. When you discover stories like this WWII becomes more than just stale facts in a dry history book. Your family lived it and suffered through it. History has more meaning.
My closest president relative is Lincoln, who is my 2nd cousin seven times removed. Using the 8th cousin rule I'm closely related to 21 of the US presidents.
I did the same thing and found out the same thing. About 10-15 presidents were atleast 5th cousins. Washington was the closest, hes my 1st cousin 9x removed. Grant was a 2nd cousin 7x removed, Madison was a 2nd cousin 9x removed, etc.
This is a great example of how connected we all are. go into geology and you're sure to find at least some people you've heard of before (for example, i'm 2nd cousins 4 times removed with Ty Cobbs).
I got an idea for a video Mr. Beat. You should make a video talking about what the presidents have done after their time in office. I am curious to know what they do after their time as president.
Just watched your (and Useful Chart's presidential relations videos) and it got me into doing my genealogy again. My father's side has been in the US since the early to mid 1600s, almost all of them in Virginia. My closest presidential relation is to James Madison, who is my 3rd cousin, 7 times removed. Funnily enough, I'm also 3rd cousins with Thomas Jefferson. But what I found more interesting about that was that my ancestors lived mere miles from where Jefferson also lived. I'm sure it wasn't as interesting to them back then, but it is now! By this video's standard of "8th cousins or less", I am closely related to at least 22 US presidents.
I don’t know the specifics but my family are distant cousins with the Bushes. We share a common ancestor on The Mayflower, and coming from UsefulCharts’ video it appears that ancestor is John Howland.
@@soundswithshayla American isn't an ethnicity and each european ancestry is different, for example Martin Van Buren is dutch but John F. Kennedy is Irish. So, mr.beat can probably do a video on these topic
@@iammrbeat There are different ethnicities in Europe though, aren’t there? For example JFK is of Irish heritage while Trump is German. Also thanks for responding to my comment! Love your channel
Goodness me, this was a fascinating video. Being the 9th cousin, once removed to Barack Obama has been a lot of fun; you'd be amazed how many blank looks I get from people I've told who don't understand how it could be possible. Anyway, thanks for the video, cousin!
George W Bush is a distant cousin of Franklin Pierce. In his memoir Decision Points, he talked about his mother, First Lady Barbara Pierce Bush’s father Marvin Pierce being a distant cousin to the 14th president
I'm related to the Harrisons. So by extension, Lincoln and Washington too. And probably more, I just don't feel like trying to figure it out right now lol Some other fun historical figures I'm related too include Robert E. Lee, and of course, several English kings. One of my favorites is George Brown, who was my Great x4 Grandfather. In my Great x3 Grandmother's memoirs, she mentions that he wanted to write a book about sawmills (because that was his job). Lo and behold, you can actually still buy his book today, and I own a copy! And let me tell you, it is incredibly boring!
My American family didnt arrive on the Mayflower, but appeared maybe 100 years later, as mariners from Scotland and Ireland, becoming running from Pennsylvania / Philadelphia to both The UK and up and down the east coast of Canada/US and islands mostly carrying timber. As in the 2nd generation they became American citizens, and during one of the wars between the UK and the US one of the ships was captured by the UK Navy, which they retained as a spoil of war. I am not certain if the family got compensation from the US govt after the war was over.
Being born in an obscure Eastern European country with virtually no Western European DNA, I doubt I’m related to any of the presidents, Mr Beat. Love the videos!
As a Canadian, I find it both doubtful, but not implausible I could have American relations. That said, the earliest people in my family who came to Canada were my great great grandparents, from Ireland, on the mother’s side On the fathers side, they didn’t come to Canada till 1976, from England, where they have Welsh, Irish and probably, Indian relations.
A lot of removeds in these relations. My family have a weird generation gap, where I have cousins who are similar in age to me, but a generation after me. Strange
What most people know: John Adams and John Q. Adams were father and son, and so were George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison were grandfather and grandson, Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt were distant cousins, and Andrew Johnson and Lyndon B. Johnson were actually not related at all, having only a last name and the fact that they took over after an assassination in common.
I've been doing genealogy for 12+ years and I have an unsolved mystery. I believe I am somehow related to Martin Van Buren but I cannot find the records to prove it. For about 100 yrs between 1830 and 1920 my family went crazy naming almost every first-born son after Van Buren. It's nutz and doesn't make any sense because Van Buren was a so-so president. I believe they were obsessed with him because he was a distant relative somehow. Oddly, I have found proof that some relatives had political connects around that period and were within "six degrees of seperation" of Van Buren. For example, one relative was a member of Andrew Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet while Van Buren was Jackson's VP. --But my family didn't name 25+ kids after Jackson. They were all into Van Buren for some weird reason. I hope someday to solve this frustrating mystery.
Great video, cuz! Just wondering, do you think it's a coincidence that the two father/son president combos are combos where the fathers and sons have the same first names? It must be an advantage to run for president with the same first and last name as a president. And I know of at least one child of a president without the same name wasn't elected (Jeb Bush). I wonder if there are any more?
Oh it's a coincidence but I might add that having the literal same name as a previous President helps a candidate way more than it hurts them. And poor Jeb. 🙁
@@iammrbeat Yes - it must be. So I guess there must be a much better chance of a second President Donald Trump than a President Ivanka Trump or Eric Trump.
I think in the Mr. Beat lore Mr. Beat is going insane and so hes talking to squirrels, puppets and bodyless voices. And the show is his slow desent into madness.
There is a fairly good chance that I'm related to the Kennedys since I'm from the same town that the Kennedy's are from in Wexford, Ireland, but I've never cared enough to check, because once you go past second cousins for me, I lose all interest. But hey it's good to imagine
@@iammrbeat how do i use this site? i am wondering what country i am from since both of my parents are from Bangladesh and their parents and grandparents are but im also wondering if my family is from other countries and settled there a long time ago. im also wondering if i am related to any presidents since there hasn't been any asian presidents of my knowledge although some may have some asian blood
The president I'm most closely related to that I know of is Harry S Truman, who is my 4th cousin 5 times removed, and looks very similar to my great grandfather. I have an uncle who is really into genealogy.
Hi Mr beat I am so excited for Presidents’ Day it’s also one of my favorite holidays a lot of people are like you’re a weirdo because you like Presidents’ Day and I’m like I just like American history it’s not hurting you lol also I was wondering if you could do an updated presidential tier list cause I interesting how your opinion changed
All my ancestors that I can find either came from Dublin or a sleepy English village nowhere near the coast, where I still live. So Kennedy is the closest longshot for me! i should also probably have children with someone not from the British isles... at some point my family tree must be a circle.
Man, this is a fun video, but I'm probably not too related to any presidents since half my family immigrated from the Soviet Union and the other half a couple generations before immigrated from Ireland. BUT something cool about my history is that my adoptive grandfather was part of the team that discovered the missiles in Cuba!
@T-Max That's true, very cool. It would've been interesting if John Scott Harrison had become President too, then there would be three generations of American Presidents in the Harrison family lineage!
I highly doubt I'm related to any of the presidents or you for that matter since my grandparents all came from Italy but this is a very cool video so thank you for your research efforts as always. 😊
I recently found out I'm related to George Washington. And my Grandmother's maiden name is Doud. So I'm looking into if I'm also related to Eisenhower (Through marriage) and Nixon (Who's related to Eisenhower also through marriage)
I'm related to Nixon through one of my great-grandmothers. He's like a 7th or 8th cousin. They were a bunch of inbred Quakers who settled in Maryland in the 1680s and fled westward from there. My family married into the Nixon family in the 1780s in Baltimore and then moved with them to Vinton County, Ohio, in the early 1800s to establish a Quaker colony there. Thankfully, the Quakers were some of the most educated people in early America and kept detailed records of births, deaths, and marriages before the government even thought of doing this. If you have Quakers in your tree genealogy is a breeze.
Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt aren’t just 5th cousins Theodore Roosevelt is Franklin Roosevelt’s Uncle in-law because Franklin Roosevelt’s wife Eleanor. Her farther is Elliot Roosevelt who is brothers with Theodore Roosevelt
Well I'm from Bulgaria so I don't fancy my chances to be related to any of those guys... However scientist suggest that approximately 1% of today's world population are direct decendants from Genghis Khan so... maybe at least I got that going for me haha. ps Love your videos, Mr.Beat! Learn a great deal about American history, politics, US way of thinking etc and got fascinated by american presidents in general! Not so fascinated by US congress tough 😆😅 Cheers fellas! 🇧🇬🇪🇺
Bear in mind geography. Bulgaria today may not be exactly the way it was even 100 years ago. There was no Germany until after the 1st world war. It was Austria - Hungary or Prussia until the 1930's. I have Greek and Turkish ancestors so it is not so crazy to think about relationships. We really are all related.
Video suggestions: Every President's favorite hobby and pastime People Mr. Beat would like to see as President How Presidential elections/nominations worked in the past Unknown/Obscure Political Social movements and parties (Technocracy Inc., utopian socialism, New World Alliance, Ghadar Movement, Natural Law Party etc.)
I had an American teacher in college who claimed to be a descendant of William the Conqueror, and also said she was a distant relative of Richard Nixon
Easy to be true. William the Conqueror was Norman. They were Northmen or Norsemen and French. In 1066 he crossed the English channel and became King William I of England. His descendents are mostly from what is now the UK.
I descend from English kings further back in history as well as William I, the Italian, Spanish, German, Scandinavian and Ukrainian kings and queens. Smaller and smaller gene pool as you go further back.
I've get the pleasure of being related to Woodrow Wilson. I know he's in the family tree just not sure where. My great grandma knew him while she was growing up. But it was fun sitting in US history classes hearing professors talk about how bad of a president he was. Growing up I thought he was one of the best cause that's what I was told. School kinda told me that was definitely wrong.
My Irish 2nd great grandma (Mary Wilson maiden name) was supposedly related to Woodrow Wilson Irish Wilson relatives but i have not really been able to trace the Wilsons very far in Ireland. My 3rd cousin once removed in Ireland said our Irish relatives were invited to White House when he was president but still no clue about exact relationship to him

"Cousin" doesn't even feel like a word anymore
After researching for this video, I agree with you, cuz
1:40 this is where it begins to get complicated
I've been doing genealogy for 12+ years and I have an unsolved mystery. I believe I am somehow related to Martin Van Buren but I cannot find the records to prove it. For about 100 yrs between 1830 and 1920 my family went crazy naming almost every first-born son after Van Buren. It's nutz and doesn't make any sense because Van Buren was a so-so president. I believe they were obsessed with him because he was a distant relative somehow. Oddly, I have found proof that some relatives had political connects around that period and were within "six degrees of seperation" of Van Buren. For example, one relative was a member of Andrew Jackson's Kitchen Cabinet while Van Buren was Jackson's VP. --But my family didn't name 25+ kids after Jackson. They were all into Van Buren for some weird reason. I hope someday to solve this frustrating mystery.

Thank you for addressing my objection in the first few seconds of this video.
Great video, cuz! Just wondering, do you think it's a coincidence that the two father/son president combos are combos where the fathers and sons have the same first names? It must be an advantage to run for president with the same first and last name as a president. And I know of at least one child of a president without the same name wasn't elected (Jeb Bush). I wonder if there are any more?
Oh it's a coincidence but I might add that having the literal same name as a previous President helps a candidate way more than it hurts them. And poor Jeb. 🙁
hi lover your videos i will love to see you and mr beat collab for a video
@@iammrbeat Yes - it must be. So I guess there must be a much better chance of a second President Donald Trump than a President Ivanka Trump or Eric Trump.
Please try to do a video of presidents blood type as soon as possible. I'm a subscriber
This has to be connected to useful charts, he just uploaded a video on the same subject
"Connected" is the appropriate word
Who needs a teacher when you got this guy?!!
1:00 and neither of them had different first names.
An expanded chart by UsefulCharts would be very big
Ridiculously big
The Bushes seem to be the Kevin Bacons of Presidential relations. I think I found out once I’m like tenth cousins with Dubya.
haha probably so
Video suggestion: you may have done this, but I would love to see a video on most popular First Ladies.
0:11 Well that was a short, yet also actuate video. Well done against Mr. Beat.
lol thanks cousin
Good vid idea
Keep it up bro
4:58 it’s just getting a bit silly
I think in the Mr. Beat lore Mr. Beat is going insane and so hes talking to squirrels, puppets and bodyless voices. And the show is his slow desent into madness.
There is a fairly good chance that I'm related to the Kennedys since I'm from the same town that the Kennedy's are from in Wexford, Ireland, but I've never cared enough to check, because once you go past second cousins for me, I lose all interest. But hey it's good to imagine
Find out here, cousin: p2u.wnx.com/
@@iammrbeat how do i use this site? i am wondering what country i am from since both of my parents are from Bangladesh and their parents and grandparents are but im also wondering if my family is from other countries and settled there a long time ago. im also wondering if i am related to any presidents since there hasn't been any asian presidents of my knowledge although some may have some asian blood
So despite Coolidge being born more than 110 years before yourself, you two are only a generation apart?
3:00 I guess if you ran for president you'd already be in the Presidential family tree 😂
Then my critics would say that I'm ONE OF THEM
The president I'm most closely related to that I know of is Harry S Truman, who is my 4th cousin 5 times removed, and looks very similar to my great grandfather. I have an uncle who is really into genealogy.
Hi Mr beat I am so excited for Presidents’ Day it’s also one of my favorite holidays a lot of people are like you’re a weirdo because you like Presidents’ Day and I’m like I just like American history it’s not hurting you lol also I was wondering if you could do an updated presidential tier list cause I interesting how your opinion changed
Well cousin, check out the livestream on Monday with Vlogging Through History, then ;)
Roger that!
Mr beat I just set a reminder for your updated US presidential tier list so excited 😁😁😁
2:37 😎
Bro I keep watching this video every year it’s so cool
All my ancestors that I can find either came from Dublin or a sleepy English village nowhere near the coast, where I still live. So Kennedy is the closest longshot for me! i should also probably have children with someone not from the British isles... at some point my family tree must be a circle.
SO UNDERRATED!
My 5th great-grandfather, John Early, served under General George Washington during the American Revolution.
Very cool
Nice.
Man, this is a fun video, but I'm probably not too related to any presidents since half my family immigrated from the Soviet Union and the other half a couple generations before immigrated from Ireland. BUT something cool about my history is that my adoptive grandfather was part of the team that discovered the missiles in Cuba!
Donald Trump is second cousins twice removed with Henry J. Heinz, who founded the Heinz Ketchup company
This video shows us all that we are technically all inbreed no matter who you marry.
I am related to coolage
Coolidge?
This is such a small world
Never knew that William Henry Harrison was the Grandfather of Benjamin Harrison. Great video as always Mr. Beat!
@T-Max That's true, very cool. It would've been interesting if John Scott Harrison had become President too, then there would be three generations of American Presidents in the Harrison family lineage!
Wait, you seriously didn't? Well that makes me happy to hear that you learned it here first, cousin :)
I highly doubt I'm related to any of the presidents or you for that matter since my grandparents all came from Italy but this is a very cool video so thank you for your research efforts as always. 😊
I recently found out I'm related to George Washington. And my Grandmother's maiden name is Doud. So I'm looking into if I'm also related to Eisenhower (Through marriage) and Nixon (Who's related to Eisenhower also through marriage)
I'm related to Nixon through one of my great-grandmothers. He's like a 7th or 8th cousin. They were a bunch of inbred Quakers who settled in Maryland in the 1680s and fled westward from there. My family married into the Nixon family in the 1780s in Baltimore and then moved with them to Vinton County, Ohio, in the early 1800s to establish a Quaker colony there. Thankfully, the Quakers were some of the most educated people in early America and kept detailed records of births, deaths, and marriages before the government even thought of doing this. If you have Quakers in your tree genealogy is a breeze.

Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt aren’t just 5th cousins Theodore Roosevelt is Franklin Roosevelt’s Uncle in-law because Franklin Roosevelt’s wife Eleanor. Her farther is Elliot Roosevelt who is brothers with Theodore Roosevelt
Can you imagine what this video would have looked like if it was with European Monarchs?
Thats one hell of a family reunion
Well I'm from Bulgaria so I don't fancy my chances to be related to any of those guys... However scientist suggest that approximately 1% of today's world population are direct decendants from Genghis Khan so... maybe at least I got that going for me haha.
ps Love your videos, Mr.Beat! Learn a great deal about American history, politics, US way of thinking etc and got fascinated by american presidents in general! Not so fascinated by US congress tough 😆😅
Cheers fellas! 🇧🇬🇪🇺
Everyone is related lol
I mean being biologically 1/8th German and the rest Latino, it's likely I'm probably related to some Prussian Leaders or Nepoleian
Bear in mind geography. Bulgaria today may not be exactly the way it was even 100 years ago. There was no Germany until after the 1st world war. It was Austria - Hungary or Prussia until the 1930's. I have Greek and Turkish ancestors so it is not so crazy to think about relationships. We really are all related.
Video suggestions:
Every President's favorite hobby and pastime
People Mr. Beat would like to see as President
How Presidential elections/nominations worked in the past
Unknown/Obscure Political Social movements and parties (Technocracy Inc., utopian socialism, New World Alliance, Ghadar Movement, Natural Law Party etc.)
I had an American teacher in college who claimed to be a descendant of William the Conqueror, and also said she was a distant relative of Richard Nixon
Easy to be true. William the Conqueror was Norman. They were Northmen or Norsemen and French. In 1066 he crossed the English channel and became King William I of England. His descendents are mostly from what is now the UK.
I descend from English kings further back in history as well as William I, the Italian, Spanish, German, Scandinavian and Ukrainian kings and queens. Smaller and smaller gene pool as you go further back.
0:12 mr beat you just trolled us man
I could not resist, cousin
I've get the pleasure of being related to Woodrow Wilson. I know he's in the family tree just not sure where. My great grandma knew him while she was growing up. But it was fun sitting in US history classes hearing professors talk about how bad of a president he was. Growing up I thought he was one of the best cause that's what I was told. School kinda told me that was definitely wrong.
I would say he was a good war time leader, it's just hard to look past his racist tendencies
My Irish 2nd great grandma (Mary Wilson maiden name) was supposedly related to Woodrow Wilson Irish Wilson relatives but i have not really been able to trace the Wilsons very far in Ireland. My 3rd cousin once removed in Ireland said our Irish relatives were invited to White House when he was president but still no clue about exact relationship to him
Interesting topic Mr Beat.
technically yeah they are all related
Heck yeah cuz
Cool! Interesting facts! 😁👍🏻❤️
I'm related to the 41st president
Indeed, cousin
My family history is such that most lines are impossible to know, going back and forth trough France, pre-unification Italy and North African colonies
