Did you know that George W. Bush and John F. Kerry were first cousins, seven times removed?

Edmund Reade (1563-1623) married Elizabeth Cooke (before 1578 - about 1637). They had two daughters: Margaret (1598-1672) and Elizabeth (1615-1672). Margaret is a direct lineal ancestor of George W. Bush and Elizabeth is a direct lineal ancestor of John Forbes Kerry, Bush's opponent in the 2004 U.S. Presidental election. Bush and Kerry are first cousins, seven times removed.

I didn't know that.
