Lincoln/Clooney Ties
Somehow, I missed this information when it was published by Ancestry.com this past November. If you are one of the gals who swoons over George Clooney, you can thank Abe.

After researching more than three centuries of Abraham Lincoln’s family tree, Ancestry.com family historians have revealed a Lincoln family secret: famous actor George Clooney is related to the former president. The family bloodline for both notable figures links to Lincoln’s maternal grandmother Lucy Hanks. Due to this common ancestor, Clooney is Lincoln’s half-first cousin five times removed. Those interested in the Lincoln-Clooney connection can find a family connection chart at Ancestry.com/Lincoln.

What about Tom Hanks? He's not quite the heartthrob that Clooney is, but he is a much better actor. And his name is Hanks! Smile
