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.
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.
