Angelina Jolie Related To Hillary Clinton, Brad Pitt Related to Barack Obama
According to New England Historic Genealogical Society, Angelina and Hillary are second cousins twice removed. Both are related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718. I didn’t realize that Hillary has French Canadian ancestry as well. The former fist lady also counts Celine Dion and Alanis Morrisette as kin. Could Angelina be related to the singers as well?
Brad lineage connects to Barack Obama via Edwin Hickman, a Virginian who died in 1718. They too are ninth cousins, though not twice removed like Hillary and Angelina. Obama also counts Dick, Cheney and George Bush as kin. (Ah the irony)
Neither Angelina or Brad publicly support any candidate. I doubt distant kinship will sway either of them. Still, it’s fun to speculate. I wonder who’s hiding in my family tree.
