SALINAS, Calif. -- A seventh-grader and her 80-year-old grandfather are allegedly the first people to discover that President Barack Obama is related to all other U.S. presidents except one.BridgeAnne d'Avignon, who attends Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville, traced that Obama, and all other U.S. presidents except Martin Van Buren, are related to John "Lackland" Plantagenet, a king of England and signer of the Magna Carta.

The student and her grandfather, who is a genealogist, spent this past summer designing the first known family tree chart in history that shows the presidents' direct relationship. BridgeAnne's grandfather has researched president genealogy for 60 years."I'm very glad I got this done, and I think it will turn out to be a success," BridgeAnne said.BridgeAnne has written to Obama, who she has concluded is her own 11th cousin, in hopes that she will get a chance to present the president with the chart.BridgeAnne's U.S. Presidents Family Tree is set to be on display Oct. 28 at the Monte Vista Christian School.

If I were related to Oblama, I sure wouldn't tell anyone...

I used to think that it was cool that I was related to Daniel Boone through his oldest sister, but it appears almost everyone is related to him. Do you know what that means? The bulk of the TGO community are my cousins. So when is your next family reunion and what's on the grill?

That's a funny looking family tree in that picture.

If you believe in the whole Adam & Eve theory then yes, we are all related.

If you believe in the alternative, then chances are that we are all related somehow.

It really says something about the dumbing down of decendents. What with all the inbreeding and such. Our current existence is quite explanatory. I mean all Adam had to do was stick it in her coochie, and it's/we're all downhill from there. Our ancestor monkeys were actually smarter than us!

Somewhere, Martin Van Buren lies in his grave with a huge smile on his face.
