Our Kinship With President Barack H. Obama

Our Kinship With President Barack H. Obama

On my mother's side, we have traced a line of descent from James II, King of Scots, who died in 1460. My mother was also a descendant of Edward Southworth, who may have belonged to the Southworth family of Samlesbury. Through his mother's FitzRandolph, Eltonhead, and Batchelor ancestors, Barack Hussein Obama II, 43rd President of the United States of America, also has genealogical descents from English and Scottish royalty and nobility. Following are comparisons of our proven and probable royal and noble descents with those of President Obama.
