Trace Back the Family Tree of the 43rd US President

A prominent figure in the news these days, George W. Bush is a president with genealogical ties to old English royalty.

George W. Bush needs little introduction, as the current and 43rd president of the United States. He was first elected in 2000, and again for a second term in 2004. He is only the second president to come to the White House following his father.

As with most presidential families, the documentation is extensive and can go on for many more generations than can be included here. Go back far enough, and George Bush's ancestry connects to the British royal family through the marriage of Humphry de Bohun and Princess Elizabeth Plantagenet (who are also ancestors of mine). This connection is made through #68 below, Samuel Prescott Phillips Fay.
