Signin with your FamilySearch id, load your tree and then see if you have any relatives. I am related to 10 presidents including George Washington. Very cool. Show it to your kids.

I created a group called CougarCorner so we can all see how we're related to one another.

Pretty interesting, though I don't know how exciting some of the categories like "Joseph Smith Papers" are if they are trying to get non-LDS folk excited about family history work. I had:

8 Declaration Signers (including 1 "grandfather")
1 Mayflower (grandfather)
14 Prophets
All Three Witnesses
13 US Presidents

I'm surprised they don't have a category to highlight my great-great-grandfather, born in Southern Illinois in 1867 (that would be two years after the end of the Civil War), who was proudly named Jefferson Davis. Gotta be some sort of redneck category to catch those fine fruits in the family tree.

I better not be related to urroner . Sorry buddy.

I don't think this is geared to non-members because you need your tree in family search. It is great for kids to get them interested in family history. I showed it to my boys on Sunday when I found it and a few others.

PS Hawkwing, we are cousins.

Not to brag or anything, but Joseph Smith is my 6th cousin 7 times removed...
