Can you believe this???? Roger Cramer - Elvis Presley and Jimmy Carter Are Related Elvis Presley would have turned 65 this weekend. Many radio stations are paying tribute to "the King" and I have seen all sorts of articles about him in print this week, too.In one note of interest, the RootsWeb Review (http://www.rootsweb.com) points out that "the King" was related to a president. It seems that Elvis Presley and former President Jimmy Carter share a 17th-century German ancestor who might make them sixth cousins once removed.
