I personally thing it's more than likely fabricated.

who knows? the geneology was done by ancestry.com
its certainly possible though

I dunno. If you go back far enough and through enough branches of the family tree, it'd be possible to be distantly related to a ton of people.

I'm an editor on the family tree my cousin started. It's very easy to click and connect dots that aren't connected to you. It's all a part of the research fun of ancestry.com. Plus, it's election year and this term has been so highly controversial over race and lineage, etc.. Kwim?

I mean, I'm definitely not a fan or him or anything, but I don't see why it wouldn't be true. I am the crazy family historian in our family and I've found very interesting things about my own family that I wouldn't even have dreamed really happened. My husband is descended from two different families that came on the Mayflower. The father of one of those families, Stephen Hopkins, inspired William Shakespeare's The Tempest. He is also descended from King Duncan and King Malcolm, both of whom are in Shakespeare's Macbeth.

I can't click, can someone give me the gist of it?

On his white mothers side?
Almost sounds like an attempt to discredit his "whiteness"
