A number of Presidents have also had a hereditary link back to the New Sweden colony, including the 41st President, President George Herbert Walker Bush, and his son the 43rd President, President George Walker Bush. The Bushes are descendants of New Sweden colonist Måns Andersson who arrived in New Sweden in April 1640 on board the Kalmar Nyckel. These Presidential ancestral ties transcend any type of political ideology for both Democratic and Republican Presidents have been descendants of New Sweden colonists. The colony of New Sweden has been a vital component in the fabric of America whose descendants range from fine common citizenry to holders of the highest elected office.<ref>https://colonialswedes.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/SCN-Volume-3-Number-4-Spring-Summer-2006.pdf</ref>

Hi! The profile for Elizabeth (Bolling) Bannister (1709-abt.1766) has the {US_President_Direct_Ancestor} project box but is not managed by the project. Could you take a look? Thanks!

There is an extensive history including the various arms of the George Washington tree, text and multiple pedigrees, and references, in The History of Yorkshire, by Harrison, George. Pub. 1885. pages 140-148. https://archive.org/details/historyofyorkshi00harr/page/140/mode/2up?

The Preface is worthwhile to read to get a sense of the references.

I have added 2 comments to the profile Solomon Garfield-46 which point to additional sources. My 2nd great grandfather happened to buy this property in 1883 and it was handed down to a fourth generation of Hurds. I have been doing genealogical work in the town of Westminster, Massachusetts. If I find more, I will let you know.

Could you please add Stevenson-8456 Letitia Ewing "Lettie" Stevenson

as a US President Direct Descendant I did it wrong yet again. thank you

Just finished removing comments regarding relationships to the US Presidents. These should be placed on individuals own profiles.

I am working to move the Presidents of the Continental Congress from the US Presidents Project to the 1776 Project. Robin Lee

I'm sorry that I've taken so long to respond to your Trusted List request for Mary McElroy née Arthur. I've gone ahead and granted permission. I'm not certain what your protocols are regards to the profile management of First Ladies, but I would appreciate remaining as a project manager for her profile :)

Regards, Amy Utting

Added some source citations for FDR Jr. (1909-1909). In the process I discovered that the links for the FDR Presidential Library are out-dated and do not work properly. The new website is at https://www.fdrlibrary.org/.

logged on to merge and clean up,

Logged on as project to quickly add project boxes where needed. Too many incorrect error fixes done.

This profile needs a link to the project.

I also had the inquiry below from Beth. I am unable to find much of a tree for Abraham Lincoln, whom I am supposedly related to via Penelope Lincoln (1818 or 1834) my great-great grandmother on my father's side. I think something is incorrect in my tree. I would love to talk to someone who may know more about this family!

As much as I would love to believe Jemima (Jane) Jefferson is a daughter of Peter Jefferson my DNA trail to her stop here. I have no further connection to a Jefferson.

thanks to the person who answered my query below. While it appears there is no place on this profile to access the geneaologies, I was able to find individual geneaologies by looking up birthdates of individual presidents and then going thru the list of possible matches that then come up. thanks.

Is it possible to get permission to view the non-living members of this ancestry list without having to "join the project" or "be on the trusted list." It seems sort of counter-intuitive to have it be a "secret" list.....
