by on December 15, 2009

According to genealogists at Ancestry.com, Warren Buffett and President Obama are distant cousins related by a grandfather who lived in the 1600’s. Mareen Duvall is Obama’s 9th great grandfather and Buffett’s 6th grandfather. Mareen Duvall was a French immigrant who settled in Maryland in the 1650’s. Duvall was not one of a wealthy background as Buffett and Obama are; Duvall was an indentured servant considered a “country gentleman”.
