Dave I saw a quote recently that 80% of the folks in England descend from Edward I; and so folks who can take their ancestry back to the early/mid-1600s in Colonial America, would probably descend from Edward also. It turns out George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Barack Obama, and I all descend from Edward I, and are therefor cousins. Jim - Sent from my iPhone - FaceTime!
