No, actually his parents were 1st cousins, once removed.

"For by diligent perusing the actes of great men, by considering all the circumstances of them, by composing Counseiles and Meanes with events, a man may seem to have lived in all ages, to have been present at all enterprises, to be more strongly confirmed in Judgement, to have attained a greater experience than the longest life can possibly afford."

You're Welcome.

It Is.

Try it, you'll find it fascinating.

I suspect it will change some of your ideas about "inbreeding" too ---- if you have some good GEDCOM's to feed it ---- and work seriously with it.

Good Hunting!
