Genealogists Discover U.S. President's Royal Connection
(AOL U.K.) -- Prince William and George W. Bush are 17th cousins, according to genealogists.
The heir to the throne and the U.S. president can trace a common ancestry back to 15th century Northamptonshire squire Henry Spencer.
His younger son William founded the line that eventually produced wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill and Diana, Princess of Wales.
Descendants of Henry Spencer's older son, John, included Anne Marbury, who moved from Lincolnshire to Massachusetts during the 1600s.
She was later banished for religious reasons and killed by native Americans but a direct descendent of hers, Harriet Fay, married James Bush, the great-great grandfather of the president.
Bush is a great admirer of Sir Winston and keeps a bust of the former Prime Minister on his desk at the White House.
The link between the families was made by researchers at US genealogy company MyFamily.com, which is collaborating with the Public Record Office in London on publishing census returns for England and Wales from 1841 to 1901 online.
Details of Bush's royal connections will be made available online.
A spokeswoman for MyFamily.com says the discovery about the President's connections to the royals was only made recently, and research is continuing to find out more about Henry Spencer, who lived in Badby between 1420 and 1478.
