George Washington and Queen Elizabeth II

How I'm related to George Washington and Queen Elizabeth II


      Because of the birth this week of Prince George, I am publishing this post in a somewhat incomplete condition. I plan to add dates, pictures, and other information.

      Finding how one is connected to famous people is one of the fun parts of searching a family tree, even if the connection may be a little distant. 

      Because of the marriage of my uncle, Clair Seaton, to Gladys Joplin, many of the present and former residents of Coulee City can also be linked through these lines, although even more distantly.


      Here is the sequence of relatives:
