Everyone is always curious to know if they are related to royalty or the presidents of the United States.  I have found a common ancestor with the Teague family with President Obama and now I have found the common ancestor with President Theodore Roosevelt and his niece, Eleanor Roosevelt who was married to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
My family tree software calculates President Theodore Roosevelt as being my 6th cousin 4-times removed and Eleanor Roosevelt is my 7th cousin 3-times removed. The times removed means the difference in the generations we are from each other.
​
Our common ancestor is Thomas Croasdale and his wife Agnes Hathornthwaite.    The Pollock family are descendants of Thomas and Agnes' daughter, Bridget.  The Roosevelts' are descendants of Bridget's sister, Alice.
