Note: This is just one of
1,164
family groupings listed on
The Political Graveyard web site.
These families each have three or more politician members,
all linked together by blood, marriage or adoption.
This specific family group is a subset of the
much larger Four Thousand
Related Politicians group. An individual may be listed
with more than one subset.
These groupings — even the names of the groupings,
and the areas of main activity — are the
result of a computer algorithm working with the data I have,
not the choices of any historian or genealogist.
