Get Out! Barack Related to Pitt -- Hillary to Angie

Posted Mar 25th 2008 6:04PM by TMZ Staff

This is one crazy family tree! The New England Historic Genealogical Society, the oldest and largest nonprofit genealogical organization in the country, has found a way to get Barack and Hillary together -- through lineage!

They claim Barack Obama and Brad Pitt are ninth cousins, and Hillary Clinton is related to Pitt's baby mama, Angelina Jolie -- they're also ninth cousins. That family reunion would have drama for days!

The report also says that Obama is a very distant relative of President Bush. According to the Geological Society , they are 10th cousins, once removed ... whatever that means.

Barack is also linked to five other Presidents -- including Harry S. Truman and Gerald Ford.

Hillary is a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette, because of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side. If she doesn't win the nomination, maybe they can form a band.

3. " they are 10th cousins, once removed ... whatever that means."

Once removed means you are related by marriage only.

11. That's nasty and disturbing all at once. Think about it. You could be in a relationship with a family member right now. Especially with all the sperm donor crap. You don't know who's your brother, aunt, or cousin. I guess if you end up with a cross eyed baby, be suspicious.....
