All in the Family: Obama Related to Scott Brown
President Barack Obama can add a new name to the list of things he calls Scott Brown: cousin.
Genealogists at the New England Historic Genealogical Society said today that the president and the Republican senator-elect from Massachusetts are 10th cousins. Obama’s mother and Brown’s mother are both descendents of Richard Singletary of Haverhill, Mass., who died in 1687.
